Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 g Cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 200 g Smoked salmon
- 0.5 piece Cucumber
- 8 slices Rye bread (or similar soft bread)
- 2 tbsp Capers
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese with chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Using a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber into thin ribbons. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Lightly toast the slices of rye bread, if desired, to add a slight crunch.
Spread a generous layer of the dill cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread.
Place a ribbon of cucumber on top of the cream cheese, followed by a slice or two of smoked salmon.
Garnish each sandwich with capers and a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh chives for an added burst of flavor.
Optional: Cut each sandwich in half or into triangles for a more refined presentation.
Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately. Enjoy your elegant open-faced salmon tea sandwiches!
