Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices smoked salmon slices
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 pinch cracked black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, freshly chopped dill, lemon zest, and a pinch of cracked black pepper. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
Finely chop the capers and green onions, and fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
Lay out each slice of smoked salmon on a clean surface or plate.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each slice of smoked salmon.
Carefully fold one end of the salmon slice over the filling, then roll it gently to form a cornucopia or cone shape.
Arrange the lox cornucopias on a serving platter. Garnish with additional fresh dill or a few whole capers for presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
