Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread (or sandwich rolls)
- 4 oz smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese for dairy-free option)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers (optional)
- 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh lettuce (such as arugula or mixed greens)
- 1 small tomato, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the dill cream cheese spread:
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and well-mixed. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Toast the bread:
- Toast the slices of bread or sandwich rolls until they are lightly golden and crispy. You can do this in a toaster, on a grill pan, or in the oven.
- Assemble the sandwich:
- Spread a generous layer of the dill cream cheese on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
- On one slice of bread, layer the smoked salmon evenly.
- Add the thinly sliced cucumber, red onion, and tomato on top of the smoked salmon.
- Sprinkle capers on top if using, and add a handful of fresh lettuce or arugula.
- Finish the sandwich:
- Place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
- Serve:
- Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately with a side of chips, pickles, or a salad.
Notes
- You can add extra toppings like avocado, hard-boiled eggs, or even a squeeze of extra lemon juice for a fresh kick.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the bread with gluten-free rolls or bread.
- For a more gourmet version, you can lightly grill the sandwich after assembling to melt the cream cheese slightly and add a crispy texture.
