Do you love a good tea sandwich? I do! I love their diminutive size, which only means you can eat more, right? ? Tea sandwiches are a super versatile food offering, which can be adapted in so many ways.Tea sandwiches are not only for high tea, but make a great appetizer for a holiday, and a mixer, or cocktail party. This delicious smoked salmon tea sandwich version is somewhat special; come in and let me share all the details.
The variety of tea sandwiches is really limitless. To me the quintessential tea sandwich is the cucumber sandwich, which I shared here {tea sandwich ideas – perfect for the entertaining season}. But this smoked salmon version gives me all the special occasion vibes. It’s perfect for the upcoming Easter holiday, Mother’s Day and other special celebrations.

Different Variations of the Delicious & Dainty Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwich
You could also serve these as an open face option. Here I topped small cocktail bread slices with the creme fraiche and smoked salmon combination, which I topped with capers and red onion for an extra punch.
Another way we have served this is as a build your own toast points. This would be a great option with a similar garnishment board as here {how to create a deviled egg garnish board}.
You can really adapt it to fit your preference from how you build or deconstruct the tea sandwich to the garnishes you offer to the bread selection you choose.
