Instructions
-
Start by spreading the cream cheese over the bread you choose. You can toast the bread for an extra kick of texture if you prefer.
-
Then you're going to season the cream cheese. Our favorite here is the bagel seasoning which you can find at plenty of grocery stores. You can use flavored or herbed cream cheese too.
-
Begin piling gradually the toppings. Start with the greens as they're light in weight and can take the heavier toppings.
-
Add in smaller toppings like radishes, cucumbers and sliced onions.
-
Next pile the smoked salmon. Layer as much or as little as you like.
-
Finish with avocados as they're soft and buttery and stick right over the salmon. Now all your toppings are fully layered and it's time to season them.
-
To finish the smoked salmon sandwich, we drizzled our Dill Sauce.
-
Now you're going to put the top bread and your smoked salmon sandwich is ready!
-
Perfect to serve right away or keep in the fridge for later.
