These smoked salmon sandwiches are a simple yet elegant combination of silky smoked salmon, creamy whipped cream cheese, and fresh herbs layered between soft sandwich bread. Inspired by classic afternoon tea sandwiches, they’re light, flavorful, and incredibly easy to assemble in just a few minutes. Whether served for brunch, lunch, or a tea party spread, these delicate sandwiches feel special while using just a handful of ingredients.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 Sandwich 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Slices White Sandwich Bread or Rye Sandwich Bread
  • 1oz-2oz Whipped Cream Cheese,
  • 2-3 Slices Smoked Salmon- I like Scottish
  • Fresh Chives, finely chopped
  • Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt and Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Take two slices of white bread and spread them both with cream cheese. I like to use whipped cream cheese but you can use block cream cheese that has been softened. 
  2. Layer the smoked salmon as thick as you like, I prefer 2-3 slices and sprinkle on salt and pepper then add chopped herbs. Use a serrated knife to cut the crusts off and slice the sandwich into three rectangles or slice the sandwich in a diagonal both ways to create 4 triangles. Serve immediately. 
  3. If preparing ahead of time place on a sheet pan and place a damp light tea towel or cheesecloth or paper towel on top of keeping the sandwiches from drying out.
