🍳 Step-by-Step Recipe
1. Toast the Bread
- Toast sourdough until golden and crispy
- Aim for a firm base that can hold toppings
2. Spread Cream Cheese
- While toast is still slightly warm, spread a thick layer of cream cheese
- You can use plain or mix in a little lemon juice + herbs for extra flavor
3. Add Smoked Salmon
- Layer smoked salmon gently on top
- Fold or drape it for a more elegant, café-style look
4. Add Toppings
- Sprinkle capers evenly
- Add thin red onion slices
- Top with fresh dill
- Finish with cracked black pepper
5. Final Touch
- Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil (optional)
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side for brightness
🔥 Pro Tips

- Add avocado slices for extra creaminess and healthy fats
- A little lemon zest on top makes it taste fresher and more restaurant-style
- Serve immediately so toast stays crisp
