Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Croissant. Calling all smoked-salmon lovers! This quick and easy 5-minute sandwich idea is so delicious and hits the spot!
Jump to:
This smoked salmon and cream cheese croissant is one of my quick and simple recipes. It's so delicious thanks to the chewy texture of the smoked salmon, soft cream cheese, fresh dill over a flakey croissant. I could honestly have this on a daily basis!
I almost questioned if I should even produce a recipe for it because it's made with such minimal ingredients and requires little effort. But it was too good not to share!
I make this sandwich all the time when time is of the essence and I have some thawed smoked salmon in the fridge. This sandwich is so satisfying, simple and easy making it great for a busy weeknight dinners or lunches.
Ingredients
Please scroll down to below recipe card for exact measurements.
- Regular-Sized Croissants: not the mini kind. Make sure they're fresh!
- Smoked salmon: make sure it's one you enjoy on its own.
- Fresh dill: since this is one of the key ingredients, make sure it's vibrant green and fresh without any yellowing
- Cream cheese: you can use light cream cheese, regular cream cheese or herb-flavored cream cheese. If you're dairy-free, feel free to substitute with a dairy-free version.
- Black pepper
- Lemon Juice: to help soften the fishy taste of the smoked salmon.
How to make Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Croissant
- Evenly slice croissants in half. Transfer to serving plates.
- Evenly spread a thin layer of cream cheese on both sides of the croissant.
- Lay 2 pieces of smoked salmon into each croissant and season with as much black pepper as you like.
- Sprinkle as much chopped fresh dill as you like into your sandwich.
- Squeeze some lemon juice over the salmon. Cover the sandwich with the other slice of croissant and enjoy!
Storage & Reheating
Leftover sandwiches will last up to 4 days wrapped in plastic and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Expert Tips
- Make sure to buy fresh croissants, not stale ones! It's a no-brainer but since the croissants are the star ingredient, it's important to note.
- Use smoked salmon that you would enjoy on its own! This is the second key ingredient so make sure it's delicious.
- Choose fresh herbs for this. Fresh dill is usually dark green and the leaves shouldn't be yellow.
- Don't overload the sandwich with so much cream cheese. Just an even thin layer will be suffice.
