Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 200 grams smoked salmon
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Finely chop the green onions and set them aside.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean working surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla using a spatula or knife.
Place a layer of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese, ensuring it covers the tortilla evenly but without overlapping excessively.
Sprinkle a few pieces of chopped green onion over the smoked salmon.
Carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape, starting from one edge and working your way across. Ensure the roll is compact to help it stay together during slicing.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the swirls to firm up.
Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch thick swirls. Aim for about 6 slices per roll.
Arrange the smoked salmon cream cheese swirls on a serving platter and garnish with additional dill or lemon wedges, if desired. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
