Preparation Time

- Preparation time: 15 minutes
- Baking time: 0 minutes
- Total time: 15 minutes
- Servings: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

- 2 sesame buns
- 2 tablespoons butter (for a rich and creamy taste)
- 1 cucumber (for freshness and crunch)
- 150 g canned salmon (an excellent source of protein)
- ½ red bell pepper (for a touch of sweetness)
- 2-3 tbsp mayonnaise (for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for a hint of acidity)
- 2 sprigs of dill (fresh flavor)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)

Step by step instructions

1. Prepare the buns: Start by cutting each bun horizontally into three thin slices. This will not only give you more surface area for the filling, but will also make the sandwich easier to eat. Spread each slice on one side with butter to add rich flavor and a crunchy coating.

2. Prepare the cucumber: Wash the cucumber well and cut into thin slices. Choose a fresh cucumber with a smooth, firm skin for best results. Thin slices of cucumber will add a touch of freshness and texture.

3. Making the stuffing: In a bowl, finely chop the canned salmon. Add the red bell pepper cut into small cubes. These two ingredients complement each other perfectly, providing a contrast of flavors and colors. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. Make sure the stuffing is well bound but not too wet.

4. Assemble the sandwich: On the two slices of buttered bun on top of the cucumber slices, generously add the salmon filling. Place a slice of bagel on top, then repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Finally, cover with the third slice of bun, which will act as a lid. This layer of bagel will keep the filling tightly closed.

5. Serving: Cut the sandwich in half or quarters, depending on preference. Serve with a fresh salad or vegetable chips for a nice contrast. A slice of lemon on the plate can add a touch of color and flavor.

Practical tips

- Choice of ingredients: Opt for top quality canned salmon as it will make a big difference in taste. You can also use smoked salmon for a more intense flavor.
- Variations: You can replace the salmon with tuna or add avocado for a creamier version. Also, if you're vegetarian, use tofu or herbed cottage cheese.
- Calories and Nutritional Benefits: Each sandwich contains about 350-400 calories, depending on the ingredients used. Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health, and cucumber provides a good dose of fiber.
