Even the most novice cook can make these smoked salmon sandwiches, and they are tasty and elegant enough to serve to a special someone. For a light meal that leaves plenty of room for a rich dessert, serve with a decent wine and a salad.

Reviews
This was excellent! I had a few pieces of sourdough/rye bread and it worked great on there. My husband was still talking about these sandwiches hours afterwards. Made as written and they were perfect.
