Smoked Salmon Tartine

Salmon has always been one of my favorite foods. My eye always gravitates towards it on restaurant menus and smoked salmon is no exception. At home I make this delicious smoked salmon tartine frequently. This can be made on your favorite bakery bread or on an open-faced bagel. I have made it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and have also served it alongside a frittata at brunch. It is always a favorite in my family.

Ingredients for Smoked Salmon Tartine

8 slices bakery bread, (sourdough, rye, whole grain, or bagels)

1/3 cup scallion cream cheese (for dairy free I like Treeline garlic soft cheese)

½ pound smoked salmon

2 tomatoes sliced thinly, or 16 cherry tomatoes halved

2 tablespoons capers

1 shallot sliced thinly

dill for garnish, fresh or dried

Directions for Smoked Salmon Tartine

Toast the bread in a toaster to your liking. Spread each piece of toast with scallion cream cheese, about 2 teaspoons per slice. 

Cover each slice with a layer of smoked salmon. Evenly divide the tomatoes, capers, and sliced shallot on top of each slice. Sprinkle dill on top for garnish.
