SHRIMP AND SMOKED SALMON SMORREBROD WITH LEMON CUCUMBERS
My new sandwich obsession, the Danish Smorrebrod, a wonderful openface treat; this one's loaded with seafoods and fresh veggies on a slice of rye bread. This also makes a delicious appetizer, and I make extra of the cucumbers to enjoy in salads as well.

CUCUMBER CUPS WITH DILL CREAM AND SMOKED SALMON
Classic combos are classic because the flavors go well together! Dill, cucumber, and smoked fish are combined with a bit of lemon to perk things up. Small pieces of smoked trout would be a good substitute for the salmon in this pretty, easy, no-cook hors d'oeuvre. Cucumber cups can be assembled and kept chilled in an airtight container 1 day ahead of time.
