Smoked Salmon and Sour Cream Crostini

Crisp toast with smoked salmon, cool cream and a lemon finish.

  1. Toast the baguette slices on one side only, under a grill or in a dry pan, so the tops stay soft enough to bite.
  2. Spoon a little sour cream onto the toasted side of each slice and drape the smoked salmon over it.
  3. Scatter over a few capers, crack on some black pepper and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
