Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, mix 4 oz softened cream cheese with 1 tsp lemon zest and 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Lay out 12 slices of white sandwich bread and spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture on 6 slices.
  3. Step 3: Arrange 8 oz smoked salmon evenly over the cream cheese on those 6 slices, then top with thin slices from 1 medium cucumber.
  4. Step 4: Season the cucumber with a pinch of black pepper, then cover with the remaining 6 bread slices, pressing gently.
  5. Step 5: Using a sharp knife, trim crusts off the sandwiches and cut each sandwich into 3 finger-sized rectangles.
  6. Step 6: Wrap tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld.
