Open Faced Smoked Salmon Sandwiches

February 6, 2017

Ahhh….don’t you love how smooooth smoked salmon is? and how healthy it is? Every time I eat smoked salmon, I feel like I’ll really power through my day. I added chives and wasabi to put a flavorful kick into the ordinary cream cheese as well. I also prefer chives over green onions/scallions because they’re much thinner and easier to mix into creams and delicately garnish. And OH THANK YOU SO MUCH KINIMOD for the gorgeous ceramic plate all the way from Australia!

  • 4 slices Whole wheat bread
