SMOKED SALMON SANDWICHES WITH CUCUMBER, RADISH AND HERBS



Smoked Salmon Sandwiches With Cucumber, Radish and Herbs image

For these elegant open-faced smoked salmon sandwiches, use a good quality Pullman loaf or a dense brown bread. Choose the best sweet butter you can find (think French) and don't stint; the combination of buttered bread, smoked salmon and herbs is ethereal. Thinly sliced cucumber and radish add color, along with the briny pop of salmon caviar.
