Ingredients
4 slices rye bread or whole wheat bread
4 oz whipped cream cheese
1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
1 tsp lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6–8 slices high-quality smoked salmon (about 4 oz)
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup baby arugula or watercress
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese spread: In a small bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese, fresh chives, fresh dill, and lemon zest. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well.
- Toast the bread (optional): Lightly toast the rye or whole wheat bread until golden brown for extra crunch.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread the herb-infused cream cheese mixture generously on each slice of bread.
- Layer the smoked salmon: Place 6-8 slices of smoked salmon on two slices of bread.
- Add the toppings: Layer thin slices of red onion and a handful of baby arugula or watercress on top of the salmon.
- Finish and serve: Place the remaining slices of bread on top, cream cheese side down. Cut in half and serve immediately.
Notes
Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free version.
For extra creaminess, add slices of ripe avocado to the sandwich.
If you like a bit of crunch, try adding thin slices of cucumber.
Pickled onions can be used instead of fresh red onions for a tangy contrast.
