Best Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Roll Recipes

SMOKED SALMON CREAM CHEESE ROLL

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, (or use an electric beater), combine cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic,onion, paprika, parsley and Lemongrass/chili.
• Process until combined and smooth.
• Spoon onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape into a 6 inch roll.
• Wrap salmon slices around cheese roll to cover, except ends.
• Roll to press salmon to cheese.
• Wrap tightly in new piece of plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.
• Cut roll into 1/4 inch slices, serve on crackers or pieces of bagel.
• (If Lemongrass& Chilli is not available, (I was lucky enough to have a lovely person send me some from New Zealand, wonderful stuff!), use your favourite Hot spice.).
• An alternate way to do these, works well.
• Use unsliced, home smoked salmon, broken into small pieces and add to the mix after processing, so that there are little lumps of the smoked salmon. Roll in the plastic wrap and freeze until using. Then wrap very thin slices around roll after defrosting.
• You could even freeze the rolls without any salmon after wrapping and wrap with the slices of salmon when serving.

SMOKED SALMON, CAVIAR AND CREAM CHEESE ROLL UPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix the cream cheese and chives. Lay the slices of salmon out flat. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on 1 side of each slice salmon. Starting from a short end roll the salmon snugly over the filling. With a blanched leek tie the salmon to secure it. Arrange the "sushi" cream cheese side up. Garnish the top with a small dollop of caviar.
