Smørbrød med røkt laks og algeperler

open sandwich with salmon and algae pearls
Open sandwiches are a traditional part of Nordic cuisine. Born out of practicality, these much-loved snacks have evolved to become a staple of the Scandinavian diet, and are now found in homes, offices and social gatherings all over the world. Open sandwiches are completely customisable, but we love this recipe. The balance of flavours – creamy cheese, sharp pickles, rich smoked salmon and zesty lemon – combine to make a well-rounded mouthful. Topped with algae pearls for added texture, these open sandwiches are easy to make and look beautiful. Perfect for serving a crowd of hungry Scandinavians!
