Lay the slices of rye bread out on a clean surface or serving plates.
Spread a thin layer of butter evenly over each slice of rye bread to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Place an even layer of thinly sliced roast beef on top of each buttered slice of bread.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of remoulade sauce over the roast beef on each slice, spreading it gently for an even coating.
Top each sandwich with one slice of pickled cucumber placed at the center.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crispy fried onions over the remoulade and roast beef for added crunch and flavor.
Garnish each smørrebrød with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve immediately as part of a Danish-inspired lunch or appetizer spread. Enjoy!
