Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 24 slices of baguette
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher or coarse salt
  • ½ cup Herbed Mayonnaise (approximately)
  • ½ pound thinly sliced smoked salmon (cut into small pieces about 1 x 3 inches)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
  • Chiffonaded basil, tiny dill sprigs, or another fresh herb of your choice

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush them with olive oil, and lightly sprinkle them with salt. Bake for about 4 minutes, until golden around the edges, but not hard—they will firm up as they cool. Let them cool to room temperature.
  • Dollop/spread some Herby Mayonnaise on each of the crostini. Drape a piece of smoked salmon on top, give it a light grind of pepper, then sprinkle over a tiny bit of lemon zest, if using, and place a little bit of the fresh herb of your choice on each.
