Smoked Salmon Sandwiches on Pumpernickel Recipe

Recipe Type: Sandwich, Salmon, Afternoon Tea & High Tea, High Tea Menu
Yields: 4 sandwiches
Prep time: 15 min


Ingredients:

1/4 cup good-quality mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced green onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill weed
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
Pepper to taste
2 teaspoons butter, room temperature
8 slices pumpernickel bread
4 to 6 pieces (slices)
Smoked Salmon (depending on size of salmon slices)
12 cucumber slices, sliced thin


Preparation:

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, green onion, dill weed, capers, horseradish, and pepper; set aside.

Spread butter thinly over pumpernickel bread slices; spread mayonnaise mixture on each bread slice. Divide salmon and cucumber slices evenly over 4 slices of bread; top with remaining bread slices.

Making Sandwiches Ahead of Time:

If you need to make tea sandwiches in advance and need to keep them from drying out, cover them loosely with a sheet of wax paper and then place a damp kitchen towel over the wax paper (never place a damp towel directly on top of the bread because the sandwiches will become soggy). Refrigerate.

When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator. Uncover sandwiches just before serving.
