Smoked salmon and scallion tea sandwiches are a sophisticated take on the traditional finger sandwich. Smoked salmon, a classic ingredient in a tea sandwich, adds a smoky flavor to the creamy filling of creme fraiche and cream cheese. The sandwiches are then flavored with wasabi powder, ginger, and scallions, and rolled with sesame seeds for a nutty crunch. These sandwiches are perfect for a special occasion or afternoon tea party with friends, and can be made in just a few easy steps.

4.Add the watercress to the cream cheese mixture and season it with salt and pepper to taste.

6.Spread the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice, then place a piece of smoked salmon on top.
7.Roll the sandwiches and secure each one with a toothpick.
8.Brush the rolled sandwiches with a little water and coat them with the toasted sesame seeds.
