Servings: 6 to 8 finger sandwiches
Calories: 117kcal
Ingredients
- 4 slices soft whole wheat or rye sandwich bread
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 ounce smoked salmon pieces
- Squirt of fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or parsley
Instructions
- Pulse the cream cheese, smoked salmon, and lemon juice in a food processor until mixed. It's best to have small chunks of salmon; do not over-mix.
- Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and stir in the minced herbs.
- Spread the salmon cream cheese on two of the four bread slices, reserving about 1 teaspoon of salmon cream cheese filling. Sandwich the bread together. Trim the crusts, then cut each sandwich into three or four "fingers."
- Dot the top of each smoked salmon tea sandwich finger with remaining cream cheese and a sprig of fresh parsley or dill to garnish.
Notes
These smoked salmon tea sandwiches are best served fresh, and can be made up to several hours in advance.
To keep your tea sandwiches fresh and to prevent the bread from staling, gently cover the sandwiches with a clean, lightly-dampened tea towel or plastic wrap.
