Sandwiches with red fish
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. To make the sandwiches, buy lightly salted red fish or cure it yourself several days before serving. Be sure to check that the sliced fish has no bones. For the base, choose a baguette or a white loaf. Instead of processed cheese, use soft cream cheese or Philadelphia cheese. Serve the sandwiches right after making them. They can be served warm or chilled.

Step 1
Prepare the listed ingredients. Buy pre-sliced baguette or loaf bread so all slices are the same thickness. You can buy ready-made croutons if you prefer. Boil the chicken egg for 12 minutes in advance and cool it in ice water, then peel off the shell.

Step 2
Spread the baguette slices with processed cheese or soft cream cheese. If you like, you can mix chopped herbs, spices, or seasonings into the cheese beforehand to taste.

Cut the hard-boiled chicken egg into rounds and place one on each slice. Separate the lightly salted red fish slices and roll them into rosettes. Arrange them on the sandwiches.

Step 4
Rinse the fresh cucumber and trim the ends off the vegetable. Slice it diagonally and place on the baguette. The cucumber can be replaced with a less juicy tomato, sun-dried tomatoes, and so on.

Step 5
Rinse the dill or parsley sprigs and use them to garnish the sandwiches you have prepared. You can use other fresh herbs instead—green onion, celery sprigs, and so on—but not cilantro; it will overpower the flavor of the red fish.
