Ingredients
Smoked Salmon Roll Ups
- 8 oz (225 g) smoked salmon
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ cucumber, cut into thin strips
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the chopped fresh dill and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Lay out the salmon slices: Arrange the smoked salmon slices flat on a clean surface or a large plate to make spreading easier.
- Spread cream cheese mixture: Using a spatula or knife, spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each slice of smoked salmon.
- Add avocado and cucumber: Place slices of ripe avocado and thin cucumber strips along one edge of each salmon slice to prepare for rolling.
- Roll and chill: Carefully roll each salmon slice tightly around the avocado and cucumber fillings, then place the roll-ups in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes, helping them firm up.
- Slice and serve: After chilling, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, arrange them on a serving platter, and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
