Smoked Salmon Sandwich

CategoryDifficultyBeginner
smoked salmon
Yields1 Serving
Prep Time10 mins
 3 slices of good bread per sandwich (I prefer dark Rye,) toasted
 smoked salmon slices
 couple of spoonfuls of cream cheese, room temp
 a teaspoon or so of Dijon mustard
 spoonful of sour cream or so (Greek yogurt or Mayo could be subsituted)
 splash of caper brine
 splash of lemon juice
 handful of capers
 some fresh dill
 salt and pepper to taste
 lettuce, for serving
 thinly sliced onions, for serving
 Any other veggies of choice, optional
1

Add cream cheese, some lemon juice, capers, some caper brine, fresh dill to the blender or a food processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the taste with any of the ingredients. Be careful and salt this lightly, as smoked salmon is quite salty. Adjust the consistency to make it more spreadable, while ensuring it's not runny, with some sour cream (or Mayo, yogurt, more caper brine.)

2

Spread the mixture over the toasted bread. Top with slices of smoked salmon, lettuce, thinly sliced onions, thinly sliced cucumbers and serve.

Some like adding tomatoes to this sandwich; but I personally don't as it slightly overpowers the taste and texture of smoked salmon.

If you are making this ahead (for lunch or potluck,) don't toast the bread and don't add watery veggies like tomatoes or cucumbers.
