Notes
- For a different twist, try using whipped cream cheese or add a touch of horseradish for extra flavor.
- You can substitute the smoked salmon with other types of fish, such as smoked trout, or use a vegetarian option like roasted red peppers for a non-meat version.
- If you don’t have fresh dill, dried dill or chives can be used as a substitute.
- Make sure the baguette is toasted just right for that perfect crunch. Keep an eye on them while baking to prevent over-browning.
