Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 sprigs Dill
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 1 large Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the hard-boiled eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan covered with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 9-10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool, then peel and slice into thin rounds.
Thinly slice the red onion and set aside. Cut the lemon in half and prepare a few lemon wedges for garnish; juice the remaining halves into a small bowl.
Lightly butter each slice of rye bread. Optionally, toast the bread for a slightly crisp texture.
Lay a portion of smoked salmon evenly across each slice of bread.
Layer the slices of hard-boiled egg over the salmon. Scatter a small number of capers and red onion slices over the top.
Drizzle a small amount of fresh lemon juice onto each sandwich for a zesty kick.
Season to taste with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Top each sandwich with a sprig of dill and, if desired, a sprinkle of fresh parsley for extra color and flavor.
Serve immediately, accompanied by the lemon wedges. Enjoy this sophisticated, open-faced Scandinavian sandwich!
