Serves: 6 sliders
Ingredients
- 6 slider buns
- 8 oz smoked salmon
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh dill for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and finely chopping red onion and fresh dill. Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier spreading.
- Slice slider buns horizontally, creating a top and bottom for each mini sandwich. Lightly toast the buns in a skillet or toaster until golden brown edges appear.
- Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese on the bottom half of each slider bun, ensuring even coverage.
- Carefully layer thin slices of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese, slightly overlapping to create full coverage.
- Sprinkle capers evenly across the smoked salmon layer, distributing them for balanced flavor in each bite.
- Add thinly sliced red onion on top of the capers, creating a delicate and sharp flavor complement to the salmon.
- Garnish with fresh chopped dill, allowing the herb's bright flavor to enhance the overall taste profile of the slider.
- Gently place the top half of each slider bun, pressing down slightly to create a compact mini sandwich.
- Serve immediately at room temperature, optionally cutting each slider diagonally for an elegant presentation.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature for smooth, easy spreading.
- Toast Wisely: Lightly toast buns to add a subtle crunch without drying them out completely.
- Layer Strategically: Overlap smoked salmon slightly for full coverage and visual appeal.
- Caper Distribution: Sprinkle capers evenly to guarantee a burst of flavor in every bite.
- Fresh Herb Hack: Chop fresh dill just before serving to maintain maximum flavor and aroma.
- Presentation Tip: Cut sliders diagonally for an elegant, restaurant-style presentation.
- Serve Immediately: These sliders are best enjoyed fresh to maintain optimal texture and temperature.
