Starters, aperitifs but also aperitifs will have a completely different flavor with this recipe. After all, to prepare bruschetta with salmon in its simplest version you only need 3-4 ingredients but from here you can also create richer and tastier variations .

We loved the pure salmon bruschetta, prepared with toasted and crunchy bread and then completed with spreadable cheese and smoked salmon . However, since it is a purely summer dish, grilled courgettes or cucumber slices are also great. But let's see all the steps in detail!

How to prepare the bruschetta recipe with salmon

1. First, toast the bread slices . You can use the oven with the grill function, the air fryer, a grill pan or the appropriate griddle. The important thing is that the bread is nice and crunchy and perhaps with the characteristic dark lines.
2. Spread each slice with a layer of cheese then top with a slice of smoked salmon .
3. Complete with a grated lemon zest and some chives cut with a knife.

Variations of bruschetta with smoked salmon

Customizing the bruschetta with smoked salmon is very simple. A simpler version is obtained by spreading a layer of butter on the slices of bread, toasting them and placing the salmon directly. The addition of some desalted capers will make everything even tastier.

For a fresher note, add a couple of slices of cucumber to each bruschetta (salmon, cheese and cucumber is a great combination!) or a slice of courgette cut lengthwise and grilled.

Which bread to choose to prepare salmon bruschetta

The last piece of advice we would like to give you concerns bread : both homemade bread, even a couple of days old since we are going to toast it, and black cereal bread are fine. Pair them with classic tomato bruschetta and you'll make a great impression.

Conservation

We advise you to prepare the bruschetta with smoked salmon at the last moment because the humidity of the cheese tends to ruin the crunchy texture of the bread. However, you can take advantage of the preparation by toasting the bread beforehand.
