- 8 ounces low sodium smoked salmon
- 4 tablespoons low sodium cream cheese
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 bunch fresh dill
- 1 whole cucumber
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the lemon and fresh dill. Zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl.
Slice the cucumber thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife, and set aside.
Finely chop a few sprigs of fresh dill until you have about 2 tablespoons, set aside.
In a small bowl, blend together the low sodium cream cheese, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until they are just golden brown.
Spread one tablespoon of the lemon-dill cream cheese mixture evenly on each slice of toasted bread.
Place 2 ounces of low sodium smoked salmon on top of each slice, arranging it to cover the bread evenly.
Layer the thin cucumber slices on top of the smoked salmon.
Sprinkle a small pinch of black pepper and the chopped dill over each open-faced sandwich.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprig of fresh dill or a additional lemon wedges if desired.
