Smoked salmon & cream cheese burger

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
This isn't a burger in the classic sense, as there is no fried patty. Rather it is the meeting of Scandinavian sandwiches and bagel culture in burger format. The oily richness of cold smoked salmon, the softness of cream cheese and freshness of dill result in a light yet filling dish, where the absence of cooking preserves the sensitive structure of omega-3 fatty acids.

Instructions

1 ✓

Chop the dill finely. Mix with the cream cheese and lemon juice. Taste, add a little salt if needed, but careful, salmon is salty!

Tip: Citric acid 'breaks' the fattiness of cream cheese and fish, creating a refreshing effect.
2 ✓

Halve the buns, brush thinly with olive oil, and toast the cut side.

Tip: Toasting is important because it adds texture alongside the soft fish and cream.
3 ✓

Slice cucumber into long strips or thin rounds. Slice onion paper-thin.

Tip: Thick onion slices would overpower the delicate taste of salmon.
4 ✓

Assembly: Spread the bottom of the bun thickly with dill cream. Pile on salmon slices loosely, folding them 'airily'.

Tip: If you fold the salmon loosely, more air remains between layers, giving better texture when biting.
5 ✓

Add cucumber, red onion and rocket. Close with lid.

Tip: The peppery taste of rocket goes famously with smoked fish.

Recipe FAQ

Can I substitute smoked salmon with roasted salmon?
Yes, but then you get a completely different character dish. The intense, salty taste of smoked salmon is the essence here. If using roasted, season more boldly!
What bun should I choose?
A denser textured, seeded bun or rye roll fits fish better than sweet brioche.
