2 slices sourdough, rye, whole grain, or bagel (your choice)
2–3 oz cold-smoked salmon
2 tbsp cream cheese (plain or herbed)
1 tbsp capers, drained
4–5 thin cucumber slices
2–3 thin red onion slices
A few sprigs of fresh dill
Optional: arugula or mixed greens
Freshly cracked black pepper
Lemon wedge (for spritzing)
Toast the bread or bagel until golden and slightly crisp.
Spread cream cheese evenly across both slices.
Layer smoked salmon on top, folding gently for texture.
Add cucumber, red onion, capers, and fresh dill.
Sprinkle with black pepper and squeeze a little lemon over everything.
Top with the second slice of bread, cut in half, and serve immediately!
For extra flavor, use an herbed cream cheese or add a smear of Dijon.
Make it open-face for a lighter, prettier presentation.
Want it dairy-free? Swap in a plant-based cream cheese.
