Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into thin rounds, about ¼ inch thick. Place the slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, ensuring an even coating. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.

While the crostini are baking, soften the cream cheese at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.

Spread a generous layer of cream cheese over each toasted crostini.

Lay slices of smoked salmon over the cream cheese on each crostini.

Sprinkle capers and fresh dill on top of the salmon.

Zest a lemon over the assembled crostini and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Serve with style and enjoy the festive presentation!
