Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, mix 8 oz cream cheese and 1/2 cup mayonnaise until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Trim crusts from 12 slices of bread. Arrange 4 slices in a single layer on a serving plate, trimming to fit.

  3. Step 3

    Spread a third of the cream cheese mixture over the bread. Top with half of the 6 oz smoked salmon, tearing into pieces.

  4. Step 4

    Repeat layers: 4 more bread slices, another third of the mixture, remaining salmon, then the last 4 bread slices.

  5. Step 5

    Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the top and sides of the cake, smoothing with a spatula.

  6. Step 6

    Decorate the top with 1 sliced cucumber, 1/2 lb cooked shrimp, and 1/4 cup fresh dill. Squeeze juice from 1 lemon over the top.

  7. Step 7

    Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
