Salmon and cream cheese sandwiches are a refined combination of softness and freshness from northern countries where fish is a dietary staple. Light rye bread creates a crispy base, while creamy cheese enriched with fragrant dill and a tangy note of balsamic vinegar adds tenderness. Lightly salted salmon, rich in flavor, harmoniously complements the composition, providing noble richness. Lettuce leaves add freshness and juiciness, making each bite tender and airy. This sandwich is not just a treat – it is elegant and perfect for a morning breakfast or light snack. Scandinavian cuisine is known for the simplicity and healthiness of its dishes, and this recipe is a wonderful testament to that.
