Pressed salmon sandwiches

Cooking Fish Pressed salmon sandwiches

Whether at the park, on the beach or in your garden, this savoury package is all about enjoying the best days of summer.

  1. Trim end from baguette and discard. Cut a slit lengthwise along top, cutting down almost to the base, then carefully prise open without splitting. Pull out soft bread, leaving a 5mm-thick crust ‘shell’. (You can keep the soft bread to make breadcrumbs for another use.)
  2. Place butter, lemon juice, zest and chives in a bowl. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper. Spread butter mixture over baguette shell.
  3. Coarsely grate whole cucumber, then squeeze out excess moisture. Combine in a bowl with capers and crème fraîche.
  4. Flake salmon, then pack in baguette. Using a knife, make a groove lengthwise in fish filling, then pack in cucumber mixture. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 1 day.
  5. Cut baguette into 4, remove wrap and top with rocket leaves to serve.
