Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
Related Articles- In a food processor or blender, combine the cream cheese, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, onion, paprika, parsley, and Lemongrass/chili (or preferred hot spice).
- Process the ingredients until they are well combined and the mixture achieves a smooth texture.
-
Shape and Chill the Roll:
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, forming it into a 6-inch roll.
- Carefully wrap the smoked salmon slices around the cheese roll, ensuring to cover it entirely except for the ends.
- Gently roll the wrapped roll to press the salmon firmly against the cheese.
- Wrap the roll tightly in a new piece of plastic wrap to secure it.
- Chill the wrapped roll in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to set.
-
Slice and Serve:
- Once chilled, unwrap the roll and cut it into 1/4-inch slices.
- Serve the slices on crackers or pieces of bagel for a delightful appetizer experience.
Additional Tips:
- If Lemongrass & Chilli is not available, feel free to use your favorite hot spice for a personalized touch.
- For an alternative preparation method, incorporate unsliced, home-smoked salmon pieces into the cream cheese mixture after processing. This will create delightful lumps of smoked salmon throughout the roll.
- To prepare ahead, roll the mixture in plastic wrap without adding any salmon, freeze it, and then wrap thin slices of salmon around the roll after defrosting.
