Smoked Salmon Roll Ups (Printable Version)
Creamy smoked salmon rolls with fresh herbs, ready in 15 minutes. Elegant appetizer for entertaining.
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 - 7 oz smoked salmon slices
02 - 3.5 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 large flour tortillas or gluten-free wraps
→ Seasonings
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
06 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
07 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# Directions:
01 - Combine cream cheese, finely chopped dill, chives, lemon juice, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until completely smooth and well incorporated.
02 - Place tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the entire surface of each tortilla, ensuring complete coverage to the edges.
03 - Arrange smoked salmon slices in an even layer over the cream cheese-coated tortillas, overlapping slightly if necessary to cover the surface completely.
04 - Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla tightly to create a compact log shape. Apply gentle pressure to ensure the roll holds together securely.
05 - Wrap rolls tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step firms the rolls, ensuring clean, even slices.
06 - Unwrap the chilled rolls and use a sharp knife to cut each log into 1-inch pieces. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with additional dill or chives if desired. Serve chilled.
