My ideal at-home, quick, light lunch for one. Also pretty easy to throw together with things you (might) already have on hand. I used a scaled down quick pickled onion recipe from Bon Appetit, but other mild vinegars (or other recipe versions) would do just fine! Another welcome addition: capers.
Ingredients
Tartine
- 3-4 ounce Smoked Salmon
- 2 piece Bread, toasted
- 1/3 cup Crème fraîche
- Fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon zest
- Dill fronds
- Fresh cracked pepper
Quick Pickled Red Onions (Bon Appetit)
- 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon Sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 Red Onion, thinly sliced

Directions
Instructions
- Step 1
Whisk together the pickling ingredients. Place sliced onions in a sealable jar, and cover with pickling liquid. Seal and let sit at room temperature for at least an hour.
- Step 2
Place crème fraîche in a small bowl. Add lemon zest and fresh squeezed lemon juice, about a 1/2 teaspoon at a time, tasting as you go for your own personal lemon-intensity preference. This can be done an hour or so in advance and kept in the refrigerator.
- Step 3
Time to assemble your tartine! First, spread a thin layer of the lemon crème fraîche on the toast.
- Step 4
Layer the smoked salmon evenly on top of the toast, and top with a drizzle of the remaining crème fraîche.
- Step 5
Finally, top with the pickled red onion, fennel fronds, and fresh cracked pepper. Note: Pepper is missing from photograph due to impatience and hunger.
