A luxurious, comforting 2026 Pinterest lunch. Crispy, butter-toasted seeded sourdough packed with layers of premium smoked salmon, melted gooey cheese, and fresh dill.

Ingredients for Salmon Grilled Cheese

• 100g premium smoked salmon
• 2 slices of artisan seeded sourdough bread
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or gruyère cheese
• 1 tablespoon cream cheese (with herbs)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• A few sprigs of fresh dill

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Spread a thin layer of herb cream cheese on the inside of both sourdough bread slices.
2. Layer half of the shredded mozzarella or gruyère cheese onto one slice of bread.
3. Arrange the premium smoked salmon slices neatly over the cheese, and top with a few sprigs of fresh dill.
4. Add the remaining shredded cheese on top of the salmon (this locks the sandwich together) and close with the second bread slice.
5. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook slowly for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden-brown and crispy.
6. Flip the sandwich carefully, adding a bit more butter to the pan if needed, and toast for another 3 minutes until the bread is perfectly grilled and the cheese is fully melted and gooey. Slice and serve immediately.
