Ingredients

  • 1 slice thick toasted bread
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 3-4 pieces gravlax or smoked salmon
  • 5 slices pickled onion or more
  • 5 slices preserved lemon sliced thin
  • 1-2 teaspoons pickled mustard seed see recipe here and linked below
  • 1 sprig dill fresh, picked from the stem

Instructions

  • Set all of your ingredients out to assemble the tartine.
  • Place the toasted bread on your plate.
  • Spread the cream cheese.
  • Add the gravlax or smoked salmon.
  • Add the pickled onions, pickled mustard seed and preserved lemon.
  • If the ingredients seem out of balance, add or subtract onions, mustard seed and lemon as you see fit.

Notes

  • Gravlax can be replaced with smoked salmon.
  • If you use smoked salmon, you can make up for the missing herbs by adding some fresh chopped or picked dill.
  • If you do not like pickled onions, try slicing regular onions thinly. If they are too sharp, place them in ice water for a few minutes and then pat dry.
  • If you can't find or don't like mustard seeds, I recommend adding some capers in their place. It will be a different dish, much more like something from a bagel shop, but it will be tasty.
