Ingredients
Scale
1 large cucumber, preferably organic for the best flavor
200g thinly sliced smoked salmon
100g cream cheese, at room temperature (substitutions: Greek yogurt for a healthier twist or dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan option)
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (or substitute with chives for a milder flavor)
1 teaspoon lemon zest, to brighten the flavors
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: capers for an extra burst of flavor
Instructions
Start by washing the cucumber thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler, create thin, wide strips of cucumber. This will be the base for your salmon rolls. Aim for around 8-10 strips, ensuring they are long enough to wrap around the fillings.
In a medium bowl, combine the room-temperature cream cheese with the chopped dill and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and evenly blended. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor profile. This mixture is what holds the roll together, so ensure it’s well-mixed!
Lay one cucumber strip on a clean surface. Spread about one tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cucumber. Place a slice of smoked salmon at one end, and carefully roll it up. Repeat this for the remaining strips, ensuring the filling is snug yet not overflowing.
For a beautiful presentation, arrange the smoked salmon rolls on a serving platter. You can garnish with additional dill or sprinkle with capers. Slice the rolls in half for bite-sized pieces that are perfect for guests to grab and enjoy.
