No-Cook Smoked Salmon Rye Toasts with Dill Cream Cheese and Quick-Pickled Red Onions

Jump to recipe
Quick answer

No fire or stove needed. Shake up quick-pickled red onions, stir dill cream cheese and shake a honey-mustard sauce, then stack it all on dense rye with cucumber, radish and smoked salmon. Total time is about 25 minutes, and the onions can pickle while you do everything else.

This is a Scandinavian-style open-faced breakfast, built entirely from things you slice, stir and shake. Dense rye gets a thick layer of herby cream cheese, then cool cucumber, silky smoked salmon, sharp pickled onions and a sweet mustard drizzle. It looks like a café plate on a camp table.

It's a good pick for a hot morning when nobody wants to light anything, or for the day you roll into camp late and want a real breakfast fast. Keep the salmon cold, build the toasts right before eating and set the whole thing out as a board so everyone assembles their own.
