Lower Sodium: Choose reduced-sodium smoked salmon and rinse capers before using.
High-Protein Boost: Add a sliced hard-boiled egg on top (ensure kosher certification).
Low-Carb Option: Serve over cucumber slices instead of toast.

Tips & Troubleshooting

Soggy Toast: Allow toast to cool slightly before spreading cream cheese to prevent moisture buildup.
Too Salty: Add extra lemon juice or thin cucumber slices to balance saltiness.
Dry Salmon: Drizzle a few drops of olive oil over the salmon before serving.
Uneven Slicing: Use a very sharp knife to thinly slice onions for best texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a small side salad dressed with olive oil and lemon.
Pair with fresh fruit such as melon or berries.
Accompany with hot tea, coffee, or sparkling water with lemon.
For brunch, serve alongside soft scrambled eggs or a vegetable frittata (dairy meal).

Notes
