Best Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Swirls Recipes

SMOKED SALMON PINWHEELS

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine cream cheese, dill, chives, and garlic powder. Mix until well-incorporated and creamy.
• Lay out both wraps and evenly spread the cream cheese onto each one, leaving about a half inch of room around the edges. Spread the cream cheese out to the edge on one side, as you'll use this side to "seal" the pinwheel.
• Evenly distribute the spinach between your two tortillas, followed by the smoked salmon.
• Tightly roll up each wrap, tucking in the ends as you go. It's important to roll these as tightly as possible so that the pinwheels stay together when cut.
• With a small serrated knife cut the edges off of each wrap, and then cut each one into ½ inch rounds. You should get about 14-16 pinwheels, 7-8 per wrap.
• Feel free to assemble as-is or stick a toothpick into each pinwheel to serve. Serves 4.

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 PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, red onion, and basil in a bowl until completely blended.
• On a piece of waxed paper, arrange the smoked salmon slices in a rectangle about 3 inches wide and 12 inches long, slightly overlapping each piece. (If the salmon slices are cut irregularly, simply piece them together like a puzzle.)
• Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the salmon, sprinkle with the capers, and roll up like a jellyroll.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm, then cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place each pinwheel atop a cucumber round to serve.
