Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 200 grams smoked salmon
- 2 pieces large flour tortilla or flatbread
- 12 pieces baguette slices (optional, if not using tortillas)
- 2 tablespoons capers (optional)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, freshly chopped dill, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Lay a large flour tortilla or flatbread flat on a clean surface. For baguette slices, skip to step 6.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla.
Place slices of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese spread, covering the surface evenly.
If desired, sprinkle capers on top of the salmon for added flavor.
Gently roll the tortilla tightly into a cylinder. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10-15 minutes to set. For baguette slices, simply spread the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread and top with a piece of smoked salmon.
Remove the roll from the refrigerator and slice it into 1-inch pinwheels, discarding the ends for a cleaner presentation.
Arrange the pinwheels or topped baguette slices on a serving platter, and garnish with additional dill or lemon slices if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
