Step 1
Trim the woody ends from 1 bunch asparagus and blanch in boiling salted water until bright green and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 2
In a small bowl, chop 4 oz smoked salmon and mix with 4 oz cream cheese and 1 tbsp chopped dill until well combined.
Step 3
Slice 1 small baguette into 1/2 inch rounds and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil. Toast in a skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 4
Arrange the asparagus on a platter, top with the salmon-cream cheese mixture, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tbsp dill. Serve with the toasted baguette slices.
Step 5
Garnish with chamomile flowers if you have them for a pretty finish.
