I was born in Brooklyn, NY to a mother of Eastern European descent. My mom was raised on traditional foods from that region, like gefilte fish, borscht, and chicken soup. My favorite breakfast as a child was lox and bagels, your typical NY Jewish deli food. I love the combination of salty smoked salmon, creamy cheese, and a crunchy bagel. I took those same elements and created the perfect salmon appetizer: Salmon Crispbread, made with Wasa Sourdough Crispbread. Wasa Crispbreads also come in other varieties that would be great for this recipe, including Light Rye, Hearty, and Flax Seed.
- 8 Wasa Crispbreads, variety of your choice
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 t chopped chives
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 seedless cucumber
Directions:
Begin by gathering all of your ingredients. I picked the fresh chives from the garden in my backyard. I used a mandolin to thinly and evenly slice my cucumber, but you can also cut thin slices with a knife.
In a small bowl, combine chopped chives and cream cheese and mix. Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as dill or Italian parsley. You may even want to combine several different herbs to create a unique cream cheese.
Spread a nice layer of the chive cream cheese on a Sourdough Wasa Crispbread. Use a generous amount – it adds a rich texture and slightly garlicky flavor to your appetizer.
Next, add a layer of sliced cucumbers. I prefer the seedless cucumber variety because they are less watery and have a nice crunch to them.
Finally, add several slices of your favorite smoked salmon. I love the smoked salmon available in the market area of IKEA.
And now, your perfect salmon appetizer is ready to serve! This makes 8 servings, but you could cut them in half to make smaller portions or double the recipe for a larger crowd. I promise you – they will be eaten very quickly!

Those sound delicious. They’re prefect to serve at any party and I am sure they are always a huge hit.
That looks so delicious, I’m all over this! Plus, I like to sneak in ways like this, to get in the Omega’s. Great idea!
This does look like a great appetizer! I would love to make this for my guests I am sure they would love them.
That looks absolutely amazing. Your pictures are making me so hungry!
These look good – great use of colors and ingredients. Using GMO free food is a good idea.
That’s just about the most perfect appetizer I’ve ever seen. I love ALL of these flavors.
This just made my mouth water! I totally need to try this for sure 🙂 Super Bowl is coming up and gives me many excuses! LOL!
Hmmm these look pretty good! I’m usually a fan of a salmon, but have never really had it cold. I need to try it!
I have not heard of the Wasa brand before but the crackers look so good. I love the idea of the cream cheese and chives with the salmon.
My husband would love these! We were just gifted some smoked Alaskan salmon (super fresh from a friend) that he could use for it. I’d just need to get the crackers.
Oh my goodness, these look amazing. I have a family event coming up that these would be perfect for. Thanks for sharing.
That looks so good! What a great afternoon snack!
I want one right now! These look great.
Those look amazing! Salmon is one of Johns favorite I never thought to use it in an appetizer.
Salmon is without a doubt my favorite fish, but I’m not too comfortable eating it raw!
I used to use Wasa all the time and I forgot about it. I have to purchase it again. How great would it be with Salmon?
