2 sprigs of basil
1 1/3 cup mayonnaise
32 slices of sandwich bread, all crusts trimmed

Here is how you make Torta Fria - Salmon:

Prepare the bread:Trim all crusts. Bread should be perfectly square and thin (typical store-bought thickness). Set aside.Prepare the filling:In a blender mix together the salmon, mayonnaise, onion and basil. Blend until creamy and smooth (and fairly liquid) - you might need to add some of the salmon juice or some water to achieve this.Assembly:On a tray, lay out four slices of bread. Spread with the salmon sauce.Layer 4 more slices of bread - stagger them by cutting one slice in half so that the seams do not align (ie, like bricklaying). Again, spread with salmon filling.Continue until all eight layers are complete. Then frost the ends and sides as well. Sprinkle top with capers (alternatively, shredded cheese or toasted sesame is good). Chill. Can serve same day or next day (flavors will combine & soak in even better on the second day).Serve cold.
