Smørrebrød is an open-faced sandwich that is the most classical way of enjoying cured meats in Denmark. The flavors of the rye bread combine so well with the cured salmon, and don't forget the mustard vinaigrette!
Leftover cured salmon can be frozen in an airtight container and thawed in the refrigerator a few hours or a day before use. Be sure not to refreeze the fish after thawing.
If you want to make it even easier, you can buy the salmon already cured, but keep in mind that the flavor and freshness won't be the same.
