Servings: 20
Calories: 112kcal
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 2 teaspoons dill weed
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 7 oz. smoked salmon shredded
- 3 tablespoons capers
- 1 medium English cucumber sliced thin
- 10 slices rye or pumpernickel bread buttered
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients so you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Shred the smoked salmon with a fork. Thinly slice the English cucumbers.
Prepare the Mousse
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add sour cream, lemon juice, dried minced onion, dill weed, horseradish, garlic powder, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Gently stir in the shredded smoked salmon and capers. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Make the Sandwiches or Canapés
- To make the open-faced sandwiches or canapés, first prepare the bread by buttering one side of each piece.
- Remove the crusts with a sharp knife and then quarter each piece. (You may also slice into thirds to make oblong fingers, or rounds using a biscuit cutter.)
- Spread the salmon mousse on the buttered sides of bread.
- Top with thinly sliced cucumbers. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley or other herbs.
- This recipe will make 30-40 open-faced sandwiches, and will serve 15-20 people.
Notes
*If desired, you may place another piece of bread on top of the cucumber to create a closed sandwich. If you choose this style, you will need an additional 10 slices of bread. Remove the crusts and slice the sandwiches after putting them together.
**Unless otherwise indicated, all butter on this site is salted.
