Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 150 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 3 stems Scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Dill, fresh and chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 8 slices White bread, crusts removed
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, finely chopped scallions, lemon juice, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a smooth and flavorful spread.
Lay out the slices of white bread on a flat surface. Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each slice to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
On four of the buttered slices, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the butter.
Arrange slices of smoked salmon evenly on top of the cream cheese spread, making sure the salmon covers the entire surface for a balanced bite.
Place the remaining buttered slices of bread on top of the salmon to form sandwiches, with the buttered side facing the salmon.
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the edges to create clean, even squares or rectangles. Optionally, cut each sandwich diagonally or into fingers for smaller tea sandwiches.
Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill, if desired. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
