Ingredients

  • 4 oz smoked salmon (or fresh salmon, cooked and cooled)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill (chopped, or 1 tsp dried dill)
  • 1 tbsp capers (drained and chopped)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cucumber (thinly sliced lengthwise)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: Lettuce leaves (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, dill, capers, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Prepare the Cucumber:
    • Using a vegetable peeler or mandoliner, slice the cucumber into thin strips. These will serve as the base for the roll-ups.
  3. Assemble the Roll-Ups:
    • Lay out a slice of cucumber and spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over it.
    • Place a piece of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese.
    • Roll the cucumber slice tightly around the salmon.
  4. Serve:
    • Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices, cream cheese mixture, and salmon.
    • Arrange the roll-ups on a plate. You can garnish with extra dill or lemon wedges if desired.
    • Optionally, serve on a bed of lettuce leaves for added crunch.

Tips

  • For a spicier kick, consider adding some finely chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture.
  • These roll-ups are great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days. Just keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
