- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of olive oil with the remaining minced garlic.

- Brush each slice with the garlic-infused olive oil using a pastry brush.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality smoked salmon and fresh ingredients.
- Chill the tapenade for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
