Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz smoked salmon
  • 4 oz whipped cream cheese
  • 1 ripe Haas avocado
  • 1 small cucumber julienned
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon capers drained
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the wrap, then arrange the smoked salmon overlapping to form a large rectangle. This base makes rolling easy and keeps the salmon intact.
  2. Spread the whipped cream cheese evenly over the salmon. In the center, layer avocado, cucumber, and optional capers. I like to keep the filling compact so the rolls hold their shape perfectly.
  3. Carefully roll the salmon over the filling using the plastic wrap to help shape it. Chill in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up, then slice with a sharp knife. Each slice reveals a gorgeous swirl of salmon and filling.

Notes

  • Use the freshest salmon you can find for the best flavor.
  • Chill the roll before slicing to prevent squishing.
  • Cut with a very sharp knife, wiping it between slices for neat edges.
  • Don’t overstuff; too much filling can make rolling tricky.
