Name: Smoked Salmon Tartine
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 8 slices of sourdough bread (about 1/2 inch thick); 8 oz cream cheese, softened; 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped, plus more for garnish; 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice; 1 tsp lemon zest; 8 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced; 1 small red onion, thinly sliced; 2 tbsp capers, drained; 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced; 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil; Freshly ground black pepper, to taste; 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Toast the bread

Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown. You can use a toaster or broil them in the oven for about 2 minutes per side. Allow to cool slightly before assembling.
Prepare the cream cheese spread

In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. This creates a flavorful base for your tartine.
Spread and layer

Generously spread the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of toasted bread. Layer with cucumber slices, followed by the thinly sliced smoked salmon. Make sure to drape the salmon attractively over the bread.
Add toppings

Sprinkle the tartines with thinly sliced red onion and capers. The onion adds a pleasant sharpness while the capers provide a briny, tangy flavor that complements the richness of the salmon.
Finish and serve

Drizzle each tartine with a small amount of olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and a light sprinkle of sea salt. Garnish with additional fresh dill sprigs. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
