Salmon and Cucumber Open Sandwiches

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you make salmon and cucumber open sandwiches? Very simple and fast! First, gather all the ingredients from the list. Instead of a regular loaf, you can use a wheat baguette. You can replace the cream cheese with plain melted cream cheese or other cheeses like mozzarella or feta.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the salmon or other salmon-family fish into thin slices. I used pre-sliced fish, which saved me time. If you use a whole piece of cured fish, freeze it slightly first to make slicing easier.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash and dry the cucumber and cut it into thin rounds. If the skin isn't tough, damaged, or bitter, there's no need to peel it. I didn't peel mine.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press.

5. Step 5:

   

   Combine the cream cheese with the garlic and mix thoroughly.

6. Step 6:

   

   Spread the slices of white bread with the garlic cream cheese. If you like, you can toast the bread first in a toaster or a dry skillet. In that case, be sure to let the bread cool to room temperature, or the cheese will slide off the warm bread.

7. Step 7:

   

   Arrange cucumber slices over one half of each slice.

8. Step 8:

   

   On the other half, arrange the salmon slices.

9. Step 9:

   

   Garnish each sandwich with fresh herbs — I used parsley. Then sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Serve the salmon and cucumber sandwiches right away. Enjoy!
