Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwiches Ingredients:
- 8 slices of soft white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 100g (3.5 oz) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- 100g (3.5 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp sour cream or mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill or chives
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Cucumber slices or capers (optional, for garnish)
Prepare the Spread:
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with sour cream (if using), lemon juice, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on all slices of bread. Layer smoked salmon on half the slices. Top with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down.
Cut and Serve:
Press lightly and trim the crusts if not already removed. Cut sandwiches into halves, triangles, or fingers. Garnish with dill sprigs or a cucumber slice, if desired.
Recipe Notes :
Bread Matters : Use soft, fresh sandwich bread without seeds for best texture.
Herb Options : Dill, chives, parsley, or a tiny bit of horseradish for a kick.
Make Ahead : You can assemble sandwiches up to 4 hours ahead—cover with a damp towel and refrigerate.
Low Carb Tip : Use thin cucumber slices instead of bread for a keto-friendly version.
Party Platter : Arrange with variety—include egg salad, cucumber, and chicken salad tea sandwiches.
