Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Vital Choice hot-smoked wild Alaskan sockeye salmon (traditional or peppered)
  • 16 slices French bread (about ¼-inch thick, cut on the bias)
  • 3 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, brought to room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon small capers, drained and finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons finely minced red onion
  • ½ teaspoon finely minced fresh dill, plus whole sprigs for garnish
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F.
  2. Brush the bread on both sides with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper; place on a baking sheet and cook in the preheated oven until crisp and golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside until needed.
  3. Cream Cheese Spread: Combine the cream cheese, capers, onion and dill in a small mixing bowl; stir to combine. Add black pepper and lemon juice to taste.
  4. Assemble the Canapés: Spread each toast with some of the cream cheese spread. Use a fork to flake the salmon into 1-inch chunks. Top each toast with some of the salmon. Garnish each with a sprig of fresh dill and arrange the toasts attractively on a platter.
