- 2Gently flake the cooked salmon and distribute evenly over the whipped ricotta on each tartine.
- 3Arrange the quartered hard-boiled eggs, pitted black olives, and halved cherry tomatoes over the salmon.
- 4Sprinkle fresh dill and lemon zest over the assembled tartines. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, if desired, and serve immediately.
