For 4 servings
Toast the rye bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp. This can be done in a toaster, under a broiler, or on a grill pan. Allow them to cool for a minute.
While the bread toasts, prepare the cream cheese spread. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, the zest of half a lemon, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Spread a generous, even layer of the herbed cream cheese mixture onto each slice of toasted bread, covering it from edge to edge.
Artfully arrange the slices of smoked salmon over the cream cheese. You can fold or drape them for a visually appealing presentation.
Garnish the toasts by sprinkling the thinly sliced red onion and drained capers over the salmon. Finish with a few extra sprigs of fresh dill.
Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges. Serve the smoked salmon toasts immediately with the lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Smoked salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for brain health and have been shown to reduce inflammation and lower the risk of heart disease.
Both the smoked salmon and cream cheese provide high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle maintenance, and keeping you feeling full and satisfied.
Salmon is a great source of B vitamins, particularly B12, B6, niacin, and riboflavin. These vitamins play a vital role in energy production, brain function, and creating and repairing DNA.
One piece of Smoked Salmon on Bread contains approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the thickness of the bread and the amount of cream cheese used.
Yes, it can be a healthy choice. Smoked salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and B vitamins. Using whole-grain bread like rye increases the fiber content. To make it even healthier, opt for a light or whipped cream cheese to reduce fat content.
It is best to assemble the toasts just before serving to ensure the bread stays crisp. However, you can prepare the components in advance: mix the herbed cream cheese and slice the onions and store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
A sturdy, flavorful bread is ideal. Rye, pumpernickel, sourdough, or a thick-cut multigrain loaf are all excellent choices that hold up well to the toppings.
If you don't like capers, you can omit them or substitute them with finely chopped cornichons (small pickles) or green olives for a similar briny flavor.
Leftovers are not ideal as the toast will become soggy. If you must store them, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to one day, but be aware the texture will change significantly.
