Recipe: Smoked Fish Sandwich

I've been a passionate foodie and ardent blog reader and follower for years, and in the last few years, one of the blogs I've loved the most is The Tig. Unfortunately, it's no longer available because it was Meghan Markle's website (before she married a Prince and lived happily ever after), but I picked up plenty from Meghan that I'll definitely be sharing with you guys. 

One of the last food items she shared has been a favourite lunch of mine for almost three years now, but in so many ways, it's really nothing extraordinary at all. It is, at heart, what the best dishes are made of - quality ingredients prepared just so, layered in just the right way, and combined to create something that delights your tastebuds with every single bite. 

Say hello to the smoked fish sandwich from Gjusta. Based in Venice, California, this a delightful little eatery with a serious bakery/deli vibe. However, if like me, you're too far from CA to pop in, make your own sandwich at home, Gjusta style, with the recipe below. This recipe will get you very close to the deli's iteration but to be honest, as with all things in food and life, adjust whatever you like to your taste. You do you boo.

Ingredients
Freshly baked everything bagel or zataar bialy
Premium smoked salmon
Smoked cream cheese
Sprouts
Rocket
Shaved radish
Sliced heirloom tomato

Directions
Slice your bagel or bialy in half, then spread cream cheese evenly on both sides.
Layer sprouts, arugula, smoked salmon, shaved radish, and tomato from top to bottom.
Add the bottom half of your bagel, smush together (but not too hard), and start eating!
