Toast Skagen is a classic Swedish dish that is commonly served as an appetizer or snack. It was originally created by Tore Wretman, a famous Swedish restaurateur, in the 1950s. Toast Skagen is typically made by topping toasted bread with a shrimp salad mixture and a dollop of white fish roe. It's a delicious and elegant dish that can be enjoyed at any time of the day, and it's perfect for entertaining guests or family members.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Cut the bread slices diagonally to make triangle toasts and brush each side with melted butter, then place on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
3.	While the bread toasts are baking, chop the shrimp into small pieces and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
4.	Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped fresh dill to the mixing bowl, and mix well.
5.	Once the bread toasts are ready, top each toast with spoonfuls of the shrimp mixture, then add a generous scoop of white fish roe on top of each toast.
