Smoked Salmon-Fennel Toasts
Ingredients
- 16 bread slices, cut 1/4-inch thick from a long, narrow loaf
- 2 cloves garlic, mashed to a purée
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh fennel
- 3 tablespoons minced sweet onion such as Vidalia
- 6 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
- Capers and minced fresh fennel for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Arrange bread slices on a baking tray; bake until just golden, turning once, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together garlic and 2 tablespoons oil. Brush toasts with the garlic-oil mixture; let cool.
- In another small bowl whisk together lemon juice, mustard, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Stir in parsley, dill, fennel, and onion. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, if desired.
- Just before serving, arrange a slice of salmon over each toast. Drizzle the dressing over each piece; garnish with capers and a sprig of fennel, if desired.
