Smoked Salmon Rye Plate

Dinner decisions, handled: Smoked Salmon Rye Plate pairs rye bread with cream cheese for a 5-minute breakfast. Each serving lands at 380 calories with 24g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 2 slices Rye bread
• 2 tbsp Cream cheese
• 3 oz Smoked salmon
• 1/4 Cucumber
• 1 tbsp Dill
• 1 wedge Lemon

Steps

1. Toast 2 slices of rye bread until the edges are crisp and the center is still a little chewy — about 2 minutes in a toaster on medium.
2. Spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese on each slice while the toast is warm, going all the way to the edges.
3. Lay 3 oz of smoked salmon over the cream cheese in loose folds rather than flat sheets — folds look nicer and catch the lemon.
4. Thinly slice 1/4 cucumber and arrange the slices over the salmon.
5. Scatter 1 tablespoon of fresh dill over the top and squeeze the lemon wedge evenly across both slices.
6. Finish with a crack of black pepper and serve immediately, before the toast softens.
