How to Make Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwiches

  • In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped capers, fresh dill, black pepper, and salt.
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice of bread.
  • Place two pieces of smoked salmon on top of the spread on one slice of bread.
  • Top with another slice of bread, gently pressing down to secure the layers.
  • Trim the crusts off the sandwiches, then cut them into rectangles or desired shapes.
  • If desired, garnish with extra dill or lemon slices for added color and flavor.

Notes

Prepare the cream cheese spread up to three days in advance. Assemble sandwiches no more than 24 hours ahead.
