   • 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.
