Serves 2- 2 Olive Ciabatta Breads
- 6 slices Smoked Salmon (approx. 100g)
- 1/2 Red Onion or Yellow Onion
- 2-3 Fresh Lettuce or Cabbage leaves
- 2 Dill Pickles (approx. 30g)
- 1/2 Bell Pepper (any color)
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 4 Tbsp Cream Cheese (or to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s season the smoked salmon. Arrange the smoked salmon slices on a plate, then generously drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor, and let it marinate for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Peel the onion and slice it as thinly as possible. Soak the sliced onions in cold water for about 5 minutes to remove their sharp bite, then drain thoroughly. This step keeps the onion crisp while softening its flavor.
Step 3
Finely chop the dill pickles to add a tangy crunch to the sandwich. Tear or cut the lettuce or cabbage leaves into bite-sized pieces, similar in size to the bread. Slice the bell pepper thinly for a burst of color.
Step 4
Slice the olive ciabatta bread in half horizontally. Heat a dry frying pan over medium-low heat (no oil needed) and toast the cut sides of the bread until golden brown and slightly crisp. Warm, toasted bread enhances the sandwich’s overall flavor.
Step 5
Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on the inside of each toasted ciabatta half. Sprinkle the finely chopped dill pickles over the cream cheese for a delightful sweet and sour contrast.
Step 6
Arrange the prepared lettuce or cabbage leaves attractively over the cream cheese and pickles. Then, layer the marinated smoked salmon slices neatly on top of the greens. Ensure the delicate texture and flavor of the salmon are highlighted.
Step 7
Next, place the thinly sliced onions and bell pepper strips over the smoked salmon. The colorful vegetables will make the sandwich look even more appetizing.
Step 8
Finally, place the top half of the ciabatta bread to complete your delicious smoked salmon sandwich! You can slice it in half to reveal the vibrant layers inside for an even more appealing presentation.
