Smørrebrød with Smoked Salmon Salad and Dill
Smoked Salmon Salad with Dill © kvalifood.com
A creamy salmon salad made with cold-smoked salmon is quick to put together and keeps well in the fridge. Capers and dill give it character, and a little squeeze of lemon juice keeps it fresh. Good for everyday smørrebrød or as part of a cold spread.
Ingredients
Yields 4 servings
Salmon salad
- 250 g cold-smoked salmon, roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp crème fraîche 38%
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp capers, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp finely chopped dill
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- grated lemon zest, to taste
- pepper
Assembly
- 4 slices rye bread

- lemon juice, a little
Directions
Salmon salad
- Mix the crème fraîche and mayonnaise in a bowl.
- Stir in the chopped salmon, capers and dill.
- Season with lemon juice, lemon zest and pepper. No salt needed — the salmon is salty enough.
- Leave the salad to rest for 10 minutes in the fridge so the flavours settle.
Assembly
- Spread the salmon salad generously on the rye bread.
- Garnish with fresh dill sprigs and a few red onion rings if you like.
- Add a small squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
