Smoked Salmon Croissant Sandwiches are a delicious and elegant treat, perfect for brunch or a light lunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large buttery croissants
- 8 ounces smoked salmon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you prefer warm croissants, lightly toast them in the oven for about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, fresh dill, capers, and lemon juice until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice each croissant in half horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom half of each croissant.
- Layer the smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese mixture, followed by a few slices of cucumber.
- Close the croissants and serve immediately, or wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a few slices of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture.
- Substitute the smoked salmon with cooked shrimp or turkey for a different flavor profile.
