Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams smoked salmon
- 1 medium lemon
- 4 sprigs fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 0.5 small red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices until they are golden and crisp. You can do this either in a toaster or under the broiler for a few minutes.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the toppings. Thinly slice half of a small red onion and set aside.
Zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Then cut the lemon in half and squeeze one half to get fresh lemon juice.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the lemon zest, half of the dill (finely chopped), salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Spread a generous layer of the seasoned cream cheese mixture over each toasted slice of bread.
Layer slices of smoked salmon evenly on top of the cream cheese.
Sprinkle a few capers over the salmon, and then add a few slices of the red onion.
Drizzle a small amount of the fresh lemon juice over each slice for a burst of freshness.
Garnish each open-faced sandwich with the remaining dill sprigs.
Serve immediately as a tasty, sophisticated dish that's sure to impress at any brunch or lunch gathering.
