This simple toasted-bread appetizer comes together quickly yet looks impressive as part of a brunch spread. Nova lox pairs beautifully with tangy goat cheese and salty capers, and a sprinkling of caraway gives a flavor evocative of freshly baked rye bread.
Ingredients

- 0.25 small red onion, very thinly sliced
