The open-faced lox sandwich, also known as the Scandinavian smørrebrød, has a rich history dating back to the 1700s in Scandinavia. This iconic dish features thinly sliced lox, a type of cured salmon, served on a single piece of rye bread, typically topped with cream cheese, capers, red onions, and fresh dill. Renowned chefs like Marcus Samuelsson have popularized this dish in the United States, infusing it with their own unique twists. The best versions of this dish can be found in Scandinavian-inspired cafes and delis, where the quality of the lox and the freshness of the ingredients are paramount. For a unique twist, some chefs substitute the rye bread with dark pumpernickel or sourdough, adding a depth of flavor to this classic sandwich.
