Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Croissant

Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Croissant. Delicious, quick and easy to make in less than 5 minutes. Perfect for lunch or as a snack. 

This sandwich is one of my quick and simple recipes that takes less than 5 minutes to whip up! This recipe is more on the richer side but it’s alright to treat yourself every once in awhile.

Whenever I purchase seafood, I do my best to buy sustainable seafood and not farmed fish (read why by scrolling down). One way to identify sustainable seafood is by checking the package for a logo that will say “Certified Sustainable”. Below is a picture of Movenpick’s Wild Smoked Salmon and in the bottom right corner, there is a MSC logo which is one of the organization’s among several that certify sustainable seafood.

WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID FARMED FISH

1. Farmed fish contain little nutritional benefits, especially Omega-3 fatty acids as fish naturally receive these nutrients from aquatic plant life
2. Farmed fish are fed corn or soy promoting the growth of unhealthy. amounts of incorrect fatty acids. Naturally fish are carnivores and they should be eating other fish.
3. Farmed fish are given antibiotics which can cause “antibiotic-resistant disease in humans”.
4. They experience stress and pain of being confined and are killed in inhumane ways.
5. They are filled with disease and this spreads to the ocean infecting wild fish.
6. Farms clean their waters using concentrated chemicals and toxins but those flow back into the ocean damaging natural ecosystems.
7. Farmed fish live in their own poop! Yuck.
8. Fish farms are environmentally unsustainable.

So before you cook this recipe, please consider the environment and your own health by choosing sustainable seafood.

Now about this sandwich, you must love smoked salmon to eat it. It pairs well with croissants, cream cheese and fresh dill. You also have the option to put as little or as much of the above ingredients. It’s also fantastic for parties or showers if you cut them up into smaller portions.
