Salmon toast offers a delightful blend of salty, smoky, creamy, and fresh flavors. The richness of the salmon is balanced by the tangy cream cheese, with additional toppings adding layers of complexity.
The primary flavor profile revolves around the smoked salmon, contributing saltiness and a distinctive smoky aroma. Cream cheese provides a smooth, tangy counterpoint, lending a creamy texture. Toppings like capers add a briny pop, red onion provides a sharp bite, dill offers herbaceous freshness, and lemon juice brightens the overall taste. Black pepper introduces a subtle spicy note.
