PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
For the best flavor, use high-quality smoked salmon and full-fat cream cheese.
2
Let the cream cheese come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before using. This makes it much easier to spread without tearing the toast.
3
To reduce the sharp bite of the red onion, you can soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain well before using.
4
This dish is best served immediately to prevent the toast from becoming soggy.
5
For an extra touch, you can mix the chopped dill directly into the cream cheese before spreading.
