About

This simple toasted-bread appetizer comes together quickly yet looks impressive as part of a brunch spread. Nova lox pairs beautifully with tangy goat cheese and salty capers, and a sprinkling of caraway gives a flavor evocative of freshly baked rye bread.

Method

Preheat broiler to high. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly golden and toasted.
Spread 1 teaspoon of goat cheese on each slice of bread; sprinkle with caraway seeds. Top each toast with a few cucumber slices and a piece of salmon. Finish with a pinch of red onion and a sprinkle of capers.
