Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups are a fresh, healthy, and delicious appetizer or snack that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion. With creamy filling, crunchy vegetables, and the savory taste of smoked salmon, these roll-ups are both elegant and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 8 slices of smoked salmon
- 1 cup (240g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 small cucumber, julienned
- 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (black and white mix)
For Serving:
- Soy sauce or lemon wedges (optional)
Preparation Time
- Preparation Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, dill, lemon zest, and garlic powder (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy. Lay out the smoked salmon slices on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each slice. Place a few julienned cucumber sticks and a slice or two of avocado along one edge of the salmon. Gently roll the salmon slice from the filled edge to form a tight roll. Repeat with the remaining slices. Sprinkle the tops of the roll-ups with sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor.
Slice the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces if serving as an appetizer. Arrange them on a plate and serve with soy sauce for dipping or a wedge of lemon for a zesty finish.
Tips for Success
- Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.
- Soften the cream cheese to make spreading easier and avoid tearing the salmon.
- Customize the filling with other ingredients like cream cheese mixed with chives or capers.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
