- Soften Cheese
Stir the cream cheese with a spoon until smooth and spreadable, keeping it cool enough to hold its shape on the toast. · 1 min

- Spread Base
Spread the cream cheese evenly over each toast slice, reaching close to the edges so every bite has a creamy layer. · 2 min

- Layer Salmon
Lay the smoked salmon over the cream cheese in loose folds, dividing it evenly so the toast stays delicate and easy to bite. · 2 min

- Finish Toast
Scatter the capers and dill over the salmon, then season lightly with black pepper just before serving. · 1 min
