SMOKED SALMON & OLIVE TAPENADE BAGUETTE SLICES

Steps:

• Olive Tapenade -- Chop up the olives both green and black very fine and mix with the olive oil, garlic, capers (also chopped), lemon zest, parsley and pepper (no salt needed) as the olives and capers are very salty. Mix and just refrigerate until ready to use.
• Creme Fraiche Sauce -- Mix the creme fraiche, lemon zest and juice, dill and a pinch of salt, go easy. Stir until combined and put in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Baguettes -- Now if you want, you can use slices of pumpernickle if you prefer than. You can even buy the small sandwich party breads which will work too. Personally, I like the baguettes. Just thin slice and then drizzle with olive. Place on a baking sheet (I line mine with parchment for no clean up) and then bake at 425 until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
• Putting Them Together -- On your cooled baguettes, spread a spoon of the olive tapenade, a couple of rings of the red onion, then a slice of the smoked salmon, folding over so you have a nice size piece on each baguette. Then top with a spoon of the dilled' cream sauce.
• Garnish -- If you want to get fancy, top with a sprig of dill, a thin lemon twist, or even a olive slice.
• They literally take just minutes to put together and they are so tasty.
