Indulge in this elegant and flavorful appetizer that beautifully combines the rich, smoky taste of salmon with the earthiness of hearty brown bread.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Brown bread
8 slices
Cream cheese
1 cup, softened
Smoked salmon
8 ounces, thinly sliced
Capers
2 tablespoons, drained
Red onion
1 small, thinly sliced
Fresh dill
2 tablespoons, chopped
Lemon
1, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Spread a generous tablespoon of softened cream cheese on each slice of brown bread, ensuring an even layer to enhance flavor.
  2. Carefully layer 2 slices of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese on each slice of bread.
  3. Sprinkle capers and red onion slices over the smoked salmon, adding a pop of flavor and crunch.
  4. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped dill for a burst of herbal freshness.
  5. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, enhancing the dish's brightness.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a touch of horseradish to the cream cheese before spreading.
  • 💡 If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the brown bread with gluten-free bread or cucumber slices for a refreshing variation.
  • 💡 This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp white wine or a light sparkling water with lemon.
