Directions
Make the cheese mixture: Combine all ingredients in a small food processor or mix with a hand mixer. Place in a nonreactive bowl, cover and chill until ready to use.
Preheat your oven to 375 F. Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Toast in the oven for 7-10 minutes, flipping once in the middle of cooking, until the toasts just begin to brown. Remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes before handling.
To assemble the toasts, place a few pieces of toasted bread on your work surface. Spread about 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture on each toast. Press a few pieces of cucumber into the cheese. Lay an onion slice over the top, then top with a bit of salmon. Garnish with herbs. Repeat until all ingredients are used up. Serve right away.
