Smoked Salmon Pumperknickel Toasts (gluten-free, dairy-free)

Recipe: $10.19 | Per Serving: $5.10 | Yield: 2 (or 16 small appetizer toasts)

We are keeping it simple today with delicious smoked salmon toasts, paired with chive cream cheese and capers, and served atop pumperknickel (or GF “pumperknickel) bread. Make this as an easy appetizer for the upcoming holiday season!

If not an appetizer, serve this as lunch, snack, or an easy weeknight meal. It’s filling and satiating, and packed with anti-inflammatory healthy fats.

This is such a simple combination, but one that is time-tested and absolutely delicious.

This year and last year we participated in a seafood CSA by Sitka Salmon. We receive a box of sustainably caught wild seafood each month for either 4 or 6 months (depending on the length of the share you chose).
