Ingredients
- 1 baguette cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 ounces wild smoked salmon
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 Jalapeño seeded and minced
- 4 sprigs fresh dill stems removed and minced
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- capers drained, for garnish
- fresh dill for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping after about 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crostini to cool.
- Arrange the crostini on a serving platter. Top each bread slice with a piece of smoked salmon.
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, jalapeno, dill, lemon juice, garlic, and salt together. Top each of the crostini with some of the cream cheese mixture. (see note)
- Garnish each crostini with a few capers and a small dill sprig. Serve immediately.

Notes
- You can use a spoon to spread the cream cheese mixture over the salmon. For a fancy look, use a piping bag (or a ziploc bag with the corn snipped off) to pipe a generous swirl of cream cheese on top of the salmon.
- You can prep ahead by pre-toasting the baguette slices, cooling, and popping them in a food storage bag. Make the cream cheese mixture before hand and store it in the fridge in an airtight container. Then just assemble when ready.
