Thinly-sliced smoked salmon with cream cheese and caper-filled salmon rolls.

Serves
8 to 10
Active Time
30 mins
Total Time
1 hr 30 mins

Step 1: Making the Smoked Salmon Rolls

Making the Smoked Salmon Rolls
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 tbsp capers (approximately)
  • 1 small bunch fresh dill
  • 250 g spreadable cream cheese
  • 3 large flour tortillas
  • smoked salmon

To make the salmon rolls, finely mince the red onion and set aside. Chop the fresh dill and capers up together. Mix the capers and dill, cream cheese, and about 3 tablespoons of the minced red onion; set aside.

Set the smoked salmon beside your cutting board, along with the tortillas. Spread about three tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving the top empty. Then place 4 or 5 pieces of smoked salmon onto the cream cheese. Tightly roll up the tortilla.

Once all of the tortillas have been rolled, wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap. Place the rolls into the freezer for approximately 1 hour or until firm. This just makes them a bit easier to slice.

Step 2: Preparing the Platter

Preparing the Platter
  • smoked salmon
  • salmon rolls (from above)
  • fresh dill (for garnish)
  • lemon wedges
  • 3/4 cup red onion
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup capers

To set up the platter, first fold and fan the salmon, making sure to hide and fold the brown portion underneath. Build a second layer over top.

Once the salmon rolls are firm, unwrap and slice on the diagonal. Arrange on the platter in a flower-like fashion. Garnish with the dill and lemon wedges. Serve with diced onions, sour cream, and capers.

Notes

Serve the smoked salmon platter with crackers, a sliced baguette or mini bagels.

Smoked Salmon Platter

Wow that's a pretty impressive party platter!

I would add a tablespoon of prepared horseradish and a good grind of pepper to the cream cheese in the salmon tortilla rollups, but the recipe is good as it stands as well.

tortilla prep

I find most brands of tortilla are under cooked, as is. I like to grill the torts over an open flam (or stove top) to bring out the flavour and fully cook them.

Great recipe and just in time!

And did I mention how much the turkey brining made my year?

Great appetizer

I have made this many times and it always turns out and is a huge hit. A wonderful make-ahead starter. And the way you have laid it out on the plate is easy and looks wonderful and very professional! I learned something here.
