Smoked Salmon Tartines with Green Goddess Goat Cheese
These tartines feature crisp baguette slices topped with a creamy green herb-infused goat cheese spread, smoked salmon, and pickled onions. The goat cheese mixture brightens with fresh lemon, garlic, and an aromatic blend of herbs like parsley, basil, dill, and chives. Toasting the bread with olive oil and garlic powder creates a crunchy base contrast to the smooth cheese and tender salmon. The combination offers a refreshing balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients
- 1 baguette sliced into ½ inch slices (you want 8 to 10 slices
- olive oil for drizzling
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- garlic powder for sprinkling
- 11 ounces goat cheese softened
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest fresh
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
- 2 tablespoons basil chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon dill plus extra for garnish, chopped fresh
- 1 tablespoon chives plus extra for garnish, snipped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- onion for topping, pickled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the baguette and place the slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle them all over with olive oil and sprinkle on salt and garlic powder. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden and crunchy.
- While the bread bakes, make the goat cheese. You can also make this ahead of time! Add the goat cheese, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, basil, dill, chives, lemon juice and a big pinch of salt and pepper into a food processor. Blender until combined and smooth, scraping the sides and the bottom as you go to combine everything. This stays great in the fridge for a few days.
- When the bread is done, spread the slices with the goat cheese. Top with a piece of smoked salmon. Top with extra fresh herbs, a sprinkle of cracked black pepper and pickled onions. Serve!
