It combines high-quality smoked salmon, often sourced from cold-water regions, with bread made from grains such as wheat or rye. Smoked salmon is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, while bread provides carbohydrates and fiber depending on the type. Together, this pairing offers a balance of macronutrients, as well as key vitamins like B12 and minerals such as selenium, making it both a nutritious and satisfying option for meals or snacks.

For a healthier option, try whole-grain bread and replace cream cheese with a lighter spread like Greek yogurt.
