  3. Thinly slice the red4 onion into half-moons and finely chop the dill6.

Tips

Why it works
Put the salmon on the cheese, not on the bun, so it doesn't get soggy from the moisture. If you overcook the onion, it turns bitter and loses its brightness.
Substitutions
In place of the salmon, use canned tuna (90 g) without oil, but add 1 tsp of mustard. Instead of capers, use pickled gherkins (10 g), but reduce the lemon to 10 g.
Common mistakes
If the cheese on the bun darkens quickly, the salmon is too salty or the bun isn't fresh. A sour onion smell appears if you slice it ahead of time.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for no more than 2 hours. Heat in the microwave for 20 seconds at full power, covering the plate.
Serve with
Serve with tea or coffee in the morning, when you need something quick and filling. Works as an office breakfast if you wrap it in foil.
