Ingredients of this Smoked Salmon Sandwich
The fun part of a smoked salmon sandwich: The smoked salmon is so good on its own, you don’t need anything else as an accompaniment. Here we used a homemade herb cream cheese on the bread and then layered it with crunchy veggies. Here’s what you need:
- Smoked salmon: We prefer cold smoked salmon (which has a soft texture) over hard smoked (flaky and more like cooked salmon).
- Herb cream cheese: This homemade herb cream cheese is awesome, or you can find store-bought brands too
- capers: Capers are often associated with salmon and add a salty twist to this sandwich!
- English cucumber: A The English cucumber is longer and thinner than a regular cucumber, and you don’t have to peel it!
- Red onion
- tomato
- Bread
All you have to do? Mix the cream cheese with the herbs and spices and spread on the sandwich. Layer all the other ingredients and bam! It’s an explosion of beautiful flavors.

Not a cream cheese fan? Don’t worry: there are many options for a smoked salmon sandwich. Here are some other ideas:
- whipped cottage cheese The easiest way is to simply beat the cottage cheese in a food processor until fluffy and season with salt. You can also find packaged whipped cottage cheese at grocery stores.
- whipped ricotta requires olive oil and milk to achieve an ultra-chewy texture, and it’s our favorite pick here. You can also use plain ricotta and season it with a little salt and pepper.
Other variants: bread
Bread is what can take a smoked salmon sandwich from okay to fabulous. We love it with artisanal bread, lightly toasted. Here are some other ideas:
