Shrimp and Smoked Salmon Smorrebrod With Lemon Cucumbers image

My new sandwich obsession, the Danish Smorrebrod, a wonderful openface treat; this one's loaded with seafoods and fresh veggies on a slice of rye bread. This also makes a delicious appetizer, and I make extra of the cucumbers to enjoy in salads as well.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cucumber, peeled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 slices rye bread (I like pumpernickel the best)
3 -4 tablespoons unsalted butter or 3 -4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 radishes, thinly sliced
4 slices smoked salmon
8 shrimp, cooked, peeled and sliced lengthwise
dill, to garnish
lemon wedge, to garnish

Steps:

Lightly "pickle" the cucumber by finely slicing it and tossing it with the salt, sugar and lemon juice. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, spread the rye bread slices with the butter or cream cheese. Arrange the radish slices on top, then top with folds of smoked salmon. Drain the cucumber and layer this on top of the salmon. Top with the cooked shrimp.
Sprinkle fresh dill over the smorrebrod and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing. Serve 2 smorrebrod per person.

Tips:

Choose high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.
Use a sharp knife to slice the salmon thinly.
Don't overmix the cream cheese mixture, or it will become too soft.
If you don't have capers, you can use chopped gherkins or dill pickles instead.
Serve the smorrebrod immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Smoked salmon smorrebrod is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or lunch dish. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to use up leftover smoked salmon. With its creamy, tangy, and smoky flavors, this classic Scandinavian dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
