Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.

If you prefer a milder horseradish flavor, start with less and add more to taste.

For a more visually appealing presentation, use different shades and textures of rye bread.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the salmon for an extra burst of freshness.

Serve with a side salad or pickled vegetables for a complete meal.
