Instructions

Prepare the creamy dill spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Toast the bread: Brush both sides of the sourdough slices lightly with olive oil. Toast the bread in a skillet over medium heat, in a toaster oven, or under the broiler until golden brown and crisp. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on your method.
Assemble the toasts: Spread a generous layer of the creamy dill spread onto each slice of toasted bread.
Top with salmon: Arrange several slices of smoked salmon over the cream cheese mixture on each toast.
Garnish and serve: Top the salmon with a few capers, thin slices of red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh dill, if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

For an even quicker appetizer, use bagel crisps instead of toasting fresh bread.
If you are making this ahead of time, prepare the cream cheese spread and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to two days. Toast the bread just before serving.
This recipe works well with high-quality, store-bought cold smoked salmon, making it a fast gourmet recipe.
