German Salmon Sandwich with Onions & Egg

The German salmon sandwich is not really a sandwich as you might think. It’s also called an “open sandwich”, and in Germany we call it “Belegtes Brot” which is basically a slice of bread that is topped with cheese, cold cuts or fish such as salmon. It’s always buttered. That’s how the classic German sandwich is served. Makes a great snack or supper. Happy Cooking!
