Indulge in this gourmet smoked salmon sandwich that combines the richness of cream cheese with the fresh, vibrant flavors of cucumber, red onion, and dill. Perfect for a light lunch, brunch, or a sophisticated picnic, this sandwich invites you to experience a taste of the sea with every bite.

  4. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the layered ingredients to brighten the flavors.
  5. Sprinkle chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper over the top for a burst of herbal aroma.

Tips

  • 💡 For a twist, try adding capers or avocado slices for extra flavor and creaminess.
  • 💡 You can substitute the bread with gluten-free options or lettuce wraps for a low-carb version.
  • 💡 If you prefer a bit of heat, add a dash of horseradish to the cream cheese for a spicy kick.
