“Smoked salmon
is for dinner. Belly lox is for breakfast. Don’t get that mixed up.” - AlanKing
I like good food but don’t like spending too much in the kitchen preparing it. Very often I will cheat or cut corners by using what’s available in the fridge, pantry or vegie crisper, throwing something together quickly. This simple hors d’oeuvre can be easily made, looks good and tastes even better. Remember once again to use good, sugar-free mayonnaise. I really don’t know why the mayo companies persist in adding so much sugar to the product so that it tastes like custard!
I do like capers in this dish, but when I made it last and took the photo, I had run out so there are non there. Fresh dill tips are preferable, but dill is one of those herbs that dry well, so don't feel too guilty if you are using dried herbs.
SMOKED SALMON PINWHEELS
Ingredients
Smoked salmon
slices
Thin flatbread
squares
Cream cheese
A dollop or two
of mayonnaise
Fresh chopped
dill tips (dried is OK)
Capers
(optional)
Method
Soften the cream
cheese and add some mayonnaise to improve its spreadability. Spread on the flat
bread squares to taste. Sprinkle the dill and the chopped capers (if using).
Place the smoked
salmon on top of the cheese and roll the bread lengthwise to make a cylinder.
Cut at right
angles into pinwheels. Serve as hors d’oeuvre with salad greens or crudités.
