Health benefits of Watercress and Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwiches

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being.

Ingredients

1 brick cream cheese
3 oz. sliced smoked salmon
1 loaf pumpernickel bread (14 slices; save both end slices for another use)
1 bunch watercress

Instructions

With a sturdy spoon, mix cream cheese and smoked salmon in a small bowl using back of spoon to mash salmon against sides of bowl.
Cut crusts off bread and trim slices to form rectangles.
Place 8 slices on work surface; reserve remaining 4 slices. Spread 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture on each slice. Top with watercress, evenly divided. Top each of 4 prepared slices with another prepared slice. Cover with reserved bread (you'll have 4 triple-decker sandwiches).
With short side of one sandwich near you, insert 4 evenly spaced toothpicks 1/2 inch from edge down left side of each sandwich and 4 toothpicks 1/2 inch from edge down right side (see Cooking Lesson, above). Using a serrated knife, slice sandwich in half lengthwise between picks, then between picks again, to form 8 tea sandwiches, each held together with picks. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
