Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread (dense and dark)
- 200 grams Cream cheese
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 1 whole Lemon
- 10 grams Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 medium-sized Radish
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Slice the rye bread into uniform slices if it isn’t pre-sliced, ensuring it is about 1 cm thick.
In a small mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese with a fork or spoon to make it smooth and spreadable. Add a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to season.
Thinly slice the radishes and set them aside.
Zest the lemon with a fine grater, then cut it into wedges for serving.
Spread a generous layer of the seasoned cream cheese onto each slice of rye bread, covering the surface evenly.
Layer 50 grams of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese on each slice of bread, allowing it to drape naturally for a rustic look.
Garnish with 1-2 slices of radish, a few sprigs of fresh dill, and a sprinkle of capers over the top of each prepared slice.
Drizzle a few drops of olive oil on each slice to enhance the presentation and add a subtle flavor.
Finish with a light sprinkle of lemon zest and serve with a lemon wedge on the side for optional squeezing.
Serve immediately and enjoy this elegant yet simple Scandinavian dish!
