Method

For the House-Cured Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cure

    In a bowl, mix together sea salt, brown sugar, black peppercorns, and chopped fresh dill.

  2. 2

    Cure the Salmon

    Rub the mixture evenly over the salmon fillet. Place the salmon in a shallow dish and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 48 hours.

  3. 3

    Slice the Salmon

    After curing, rinse the salmon under cold water to remove excess salt and sugar. Pat dry and slice thinly.

For the Goat Cheese Spread

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine goat cheese, crème fraîche, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and creamy.

For the Toppings

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    Thinly slice the red onion and cucumber. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Prepare the capers and chop the fresh dill.

For the Bread

  1. 6

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch slices and lightly brush both sides with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet.

  2. 7

    Toast the Baguette

    Bake the slices in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Spread a generous layer of the goat cheese mixture on each toasted baguette slice. Top with slices of cured salmon, red onion, capers, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and sprinkle fresh dill over the top.
