Smoked Salmon With Goat Cheese and Dill

4 ounces goat cheese
2 shallots, peeled and minced
1 small bunch chives, minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 medium baguette, cut into 2-inch slices
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
6 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
Sprigs of fresh dill for garnish

Allow the goat cheese to come to room temperature, then place it in a
mixing bowl along with the shallots, chives, and lemon zest and juice. Mix
well. Check seasoning and add salt and pepper as desired. Preheat the oven to
350 F. Place the sliced bread on a sheet pan. Brush lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until just crisp and lightly golden. Remove from
the oven. Spread an even amount of goat cheese mixture on each slice and top
with a sliver of smoked salmon. Place a dill sprig on each for garnish.
Sprinkle with a touch of freshly cracked pepper.
