Stacy from Food Lust People Love invited us to make a seafood dish featuring smoked fish! "Our theme for this event is Smoked Fish - smoke your own or use smoked fish in a recipe!"  

This was a great opportunity to branch out a little - I don't think I've ever bought smoked fish before! I have enjoyed it a few times - I do love a good cream cheese bagel with lox and capers... yumm! But I only eat it maybe once every couple of years or so! I thought a little about the recipe options with smoked fish and then ran a quick search and when I stumbled across the idea of a club sandwich with the addition of smoked salmon, I was in!

This sandwich is delicious - what a beautiful way to enjoy this rich ingredient! All of the classic club ingredients, and a thin layer of smoked salmon with that cream cheese spread instead of mayo. It's an elevated club for sure - and one that we really enjoyed! The salmon is subtle, but you can taste a little in each bite.
