Ingredients
Bread
- 4 slices soft whole wheat or rye sandwich bread
Salmon Spread
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 ounce smoked salmon pieces
- Squirt of fresh lemon juice (about 1 teaspoon)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon Cream Cheese Spread: Pulse the cream cheese, smoked salmon, and fresh lemon juice briefly in a food processor until combined but still slightly chunky to maintain some texture in the salmon.
- Incorporate Fresh Herbs: Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and gently fold in the minced fresh chives and dill or parsley to add vibrant herbal flavors.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the salmon cream cheese evenly on two slices of bread, reserving about 1 teaspoon for garnish. Top with the remaining slices to create sandwiches, trim off the crusts, and cut each sandwich into three or four finger-sized pieces.
- Garnish and Serve: Dot each sandwich finger with a small amount of the reserved salmon cream cheese and garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or dill for an inviting presentation.
Notes
- Use soft sandwich bread for easy biting and a delicate texture.
- Do not over-process the salmon spread to retain nice texture.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted depending on availability.
- Chill sandwiches for 10 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
- These sandwiches are best enjoyed the same day for freshness.
