For this recipe, fresh herbs play a vital role. All you have to do is to wash them thoroughly and finely chop them using a sharp knife. Just a friendly reminder, though; do not chop them too far ahead of time or you will end up using ‘brown’ herbs. As for the salmon, wild-caught smoked salmon is the best option as it has the best flavor, texture, and color. The fina-style ricotta cheese is another must-have for this dish. It has a beautiful texture, plus it blends well with smoked salmon and fresh herbs.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Slice the French baguette on an angle (1/4-inch slices) and place them on a baking sheet.
3. Using a pastry brush, brush olive oil over each baguette slice. You can also drizzle the olive oil if you don’t have a pastry brush.
4. Bake for about 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on a cooling rack.
5. In a medium-sized bowl, whip together the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Slice the smoked salmon into baguette slice-sized portions.
7. Spread about a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture over each baguette slice. Top with a slice of smoked salmon. Garnish with a small sprig of dill.
8. Serve with extra lemon.

Notes

• When placing the French baguette on the baking sheet, you can lay them close together but don’t have them overlap.
• If you are making this dish ahead of time, make sure to refrigerate the ricotta mixture and place the cooled baguette slices in a plastic bag until you are ready to serve.
