Step 1: Making the Rolls

Making the Rolls
  • 3 tbsp red onion
  • 2 tbsp capers (approximately)
  • 1 small bunch fresh dill
  • 250 g spreadable cream cheese
  • 3 large flour tortillas
  • 15 slices 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: Cutting the Rolls

Cutting the Rolls

Once the salmon rolls are firm, unwrap and slice on the diagonal. Arrange on a platter and they are now ready to serve.

Delicious and oh so easy

I used the salmon cream cheese, which added to the salmon taste. Very good. I may try 1/2 salmon cheese and 1/2 regular next time. Very easy and a hit with our household. S

I used Olafson's Cozumel flour tortillas. The result was well recieved, but the tortilla was a bit too corse for this delicate recipe. Do any of you out there who made this one have any suggestions?

Soft Flour Tortillas work best

It is harder to roll using a course whole grain tortilla.

Bagel substitute

Next time I'd use mini bagels instead of tortillas. The tortillas gave it kind of a weird flavor. Also, add a little grated zest of lemon for a nice kick.

Grated Zest Great Idea

Love the idea for the zest of lemon. Not sure I'm in agreement on the tortillas. You simple cannot make rolls from this with bagels. However, garnishing the top of the bagels with the ingredients is a great idea.

Thanks Jenn.

Bagel Substitute

Yes Joe, I agree. Open-faced bagels would be great. Thanks!
