Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices white sandwich bread (pain de mie)

Notes

For an extra touch of luxury, drizzle lemon juice over the smoked salmon before assembling. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness. Feel free to substitute ingredients based on your preference; cream cheese mixed with herbs or whole-grain bread are great alternatives.
