Ingredients

Scale

For the Sandwiches

1 1/2 to 2 pound Salmon Fillet

1/2 teaspoon of Salt

1/4 teaspoon of Pepper

1/2 of a medium Red Onion

1/2 of a large Cucumber

1 cup of Arugula

4 Ciabatta Rolls

For the Cream Cheese Spread

3 ounces of Cream Cheese

2 Tablespoons of Creme Fraiche

1/2 teaspoon of Salt

1/4 teaspoon of Pepper

2 Tablespoons of Fresh Dill

2 Tablespoons of Fresh Chives

Instructions

Turn on your oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, dull side up.

Debone the salmon if needed and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cut the salmon into four portions as equally as you can.

Roast the salmon for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is light pink. While the salmon cooks, make the cream cheese spread. 

In a small bowl, stir together the 3 ounces of cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of creme friache, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Chop the fresh dill and chives to yield 2 tablespoons of each, and stir into the cream cheese mixture.

Slice the 1/2 red onion and the 1/2 cucumber. these can be as thick or thin as you like, just be sure to have enough for four sandwiches.

Once the salmon is baked, spread the cream cheese mixture on the split ciabatta rolls and add a salmon portion to each roll and top with cucumber, arugula, and red onion slices. 

Notes

Fresh Herb Variations-

Try fresh thyme or rosemary (use the rosemary sparingly) or even some basil. 

If you are lucky enough to have chives with flowers on them, add them to the cream cheese mixture or as a sandwich topping!

Sandwich Topping Variations

Try some pickled shallots or easy refrigerator pickles.

If you are taking these on a picnic, I don’t recommend fresh tomato as a topping. The juices can make your sandwiches soggy.

Meal Prep and Storage

The sandwich spread can be made in advance and will keep refrigerated for one week. The salmon should be cooked no more than two days after buying it, and can be stored in or out of the sandwiches after cooking for up to three days.
