Should I make egg salad, or just slice the eggs? Add mayo, mustard, any herbs, green onions? Maybe open-faced? Or should I just make deviled eggs with the salmon instead? What would you do?

I would take your mustard, herbs, green onion, salt, pepper, and touch of olive oil (instead of mayo--you're already starting with egg) and mix with the egg (resulting in an egg salad) and than make sandwiches, being carefull not to use too much egg salad per quantity of salmon. Maybe arugula or a slightly tart lettuce. Sun Apr 08 18:25:25 -0700 2007 2461984 36661 Sam Fujisaka 1 2461998 This sounds very much like the fixins for a Norwegian smorbrod (open faced sandwich) I enjoyed at a place called Gamle Christiania in Oslo a couple of summers ago. A slice of good dense hearty bread (spread with butter), a leaf of lettuce, a sliced hard boiled egg fanned over, a slice of smoked salmon draped on that, with some fresh dill and thinly sliced red onions sprinkled over. My husband says they drizzled some mayo on top in a squiggle, but I don't remember that! Eat it with a knife and fork! Sun Apr 08 18:27:16 -0700 2007 2461984 60630 saticoy 2 2462559 I'm with you 75%! Use a horeradish spread (mayo, sour cream, both) in place of the butter and Shazam! Instant happy sammie!

Mon Apr 09 19:32:02 -0700 2007 2461998 11231 Glencora 1 2462137 use a dark rye bread or cracker, and you can't go wrong. Sliced egg, dill, salmon as the primary ingredients.... I hear caviar is great as a topper or a dab of thickened yogurt or creme fraiche. Sun Apr 08 19:41:24 -0700 2007 2461984 59258 smtucker 2 2462215 Caviar with either egg or salmon. Not with both. Sun Apr 08 20:18:14 -0700 2007 2462137 36661 Sam Fujisaka 3 2462718 In England I had the most wonderful sandwich in an old tavern. It was a thick slice of whole grain bread, generously spread with creamy, traditional egg salad and topped with a buttery slice of smoked Scottish salmon. It was served open faced and topped with crunchy watercress. I still have fond memories of that first delicious bite. Mon Apr 09 05:56:11 -0700 2007 2462215 50795 greenstate 3 2463854 I'd use both salmon and caviar! And mix up some cream cheese and sour cream to a spreading consistency and add chopped green onion, mebbe a little cayenne, a pich of dill...whooee!

It is delicious. Mon Apr 09 13:06:46 -0700 2007 2461984 11992 roxhills 1 2465385 I actually made two sandwiches. One egg salad with horseradish. Another with some arugula I found growing in the garden. Since I was trying to make do with what I had around the house, I didn't include caviar! Thanks for all the great ideas. I only wish I had more salmon. (I still have plenty of eggs.) Mon Apr 09 19:30:26 -0700 2007 2461984 11231 Glencora
