Ingredients
- 1 Baguette

- 3 Slices smoked salmon
- 3 Tablespoons cream
- Juice and zest of one lemon
- Small bunch fresh chopped dill
- 1 Garlic clove crushed

Instructions
- Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch slices. Discard the ends. In a large skillet set over medium to high heat, heat the olive oil for a minute. Place the bread in the pan and toast each side for about two minutes or until the bread is slightly charred and crispy. Remove from pan and arrange on a plate.
- In a small bowl, add the mascarpone cheese, cream, lemon zest, 1/2 of the lemon juice, fresh dill and garlic. Mix really well until completely combined. Set aside.
- Cut or tear the salmon into small pieces. Just big enough to top the bread with.
