Ingredients

Herb butter:

2 1/2 pounds unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 teaspoons minced garlic
5 tablespoons minced scallions (white and green parts)
5 tablespoons minced fresh dill
5 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
5 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
5 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Sandwiches:

5 loaves dense 7-grain or health bread, unsliced
40 slices smoked salmon

Directions

For the herb butter, combine all the butter ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until mixed, but do not whip.

For the sandwiches, have the store slice the bread lengthwise on a meat slicer into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (If that isn't possible, you can slice it crosswise with a very sharp knife.)

Lay out 40 slices of bread and spread them all with a thin layer of herb butter. Place smoked salmon on 20 of the slices. Top with the other 20 slices of bread, butter side down. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and wrap with plastic. Refrigerate until the butter is very cold. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board. With a very sharp knife, cut off the crusts, cut each large sandwich in half crosswise, and then cut each half diagonally twice to make a total of 40 small triangles. (If the bread was cut crosswise, follow the assembly directions, then cut off the crusts and cut diagonally, twice, to make 20 small triangles.) Serve chilled.

Perfect Finger Food
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have used this recipe a few times and each time am reminded how delightfully edible these little sandwiches are. When I... bring them to a party I am always amazed at how quickly they dissapear, the amount of second and third sandwiches I see on peoples plates and the overwhelmingly comments I receive on such a simple ingredient dish. I use the Seeduction Bread from the bakery section in Whole Foods Market when I make these and the combination is perfection.Read more

Awesome!!!

I did not make this recipe for a large group of people. I wanted so much to try it when I first saw it on T.V. a number of... months ago. I made probably 1/5 of the recipe for a light lunch for my husband and I. Easy and great tasting. I used a good white sandwich bread and it was fine. I will definitely make this recipe in the future for a party.Read more

These are very easy to make. I made them for my New Year's Eve party and everybody raved about them. The best part is that... they can be made ahead of time. To be honest, I have never come across a Barefoot Contesa recipie that was not delicious and EASY.Read more
