How to Make Smoked Salmon And Scallion Tea Sandwiches

Toast 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until light golden brown (about 2 minutes). Set aside to cool.
In a food processor, combine 4 ounces of finely chopped smoked salmon, 1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 2 tablespoons of crème fraîche. Pulse until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
Clean the food processor. Add 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, 2 tablespoons of chopped watercress, and 1 tablespoon of water. Puree until completely smooth. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
Spread a scant tablespoon of the scallion cream cheese mixture onto 3 slices of bread.
Spread a scant tablespoon of the salmon mixture onto 2 slices of bread.
Create sandwich stacks: Start with a slice of bread with the scallion cream cheese, top with a slice of salmon mixture, another slice of bread with scallion cream cheese, then a slice of salmon mixture, and finally finish with one slice of bread. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create 4 sandwich stacks.
Using a sharp serrated knife, trim off the crusts from the sandwich stacks. Cut each stack in half lengthwise.
Spread a thin layer of the scallion cream cheese over the cut side of each sandwich half. Dip the cut sides into the toasted sesame seeds, pressing gently to coat.
Cut each sandwich half into 4 smaller sandwiches, leaving one side coated with sesame seeds.
Arrange the sandwiches on a plate and serve immediately. For best results, allow sandwiches to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Alternatively, cover the halved sandwiches with lightly moistened paper towels, then plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before serving.
