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.
