Indulge in the simple yet luxurious flavors of this Smoked Salmon Toast. Made with your choice of artisan bread—sourdough is our top pick—and a creamy layer of Alouette cheese, this dish is perfect for any meal of the day.
Start by slicing your sourdough into half-inch slices.
Butter each piece, on both sides and set to the side.
On a grill pan or skillet, over medium heat, place bread slices. Let each piece toast until golden brown.
Lightly season with kosher salt & fresh ground pepper, and repeat on the other side.
Once toasted, spread the Alouette generously on top of the toast.
Layer smoked salmon slices on top and garnish with fresh dill.
If using, sprinkle capers, or pickled red onion slices add them now.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
Bread Choice: Sourdough is our top pick for its complex flavors, but everything bagels, baguettes, or ciabatta are excellent substitutes.Cheese Swap: We use Alouette for its tangy profile, but regular cream cheese (herbed if you can find it) can be used if needed.Smoked Salmon: If you're cooking for 1-2, small packs are available at local grocery stores. For larger gatherings, Costco offers excellent quality and pricing.Optional Toppings: Lemon juice, capers, and pickled red onions are optional but add a zesty, briny, acidic kick if you're up for it.Cooking Method: We recommend sautéing the bread in butter on a grill pan for the best flavor and texture. A toaster can be used as an alternative.
