Prepare the Vegetables
Begin by preparing the vegetables for grilling. Using a mandoline, thinly slice the eggplant, ensuring each slice is uniform. Repeat this step with the zucchini. The thin slices will help them cook evenly on the grill. -
-
Grill the Vegetables
Preheat a cast-iron grill pan or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the vegetable slices and grill them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they develop beautiful grill marks and soften slightly. Remove from the pan and set aside. -
Prepare the Salmon
Take the salmon fillet and check carefully for any bones, removing them with a kitchen tweezer if necessary. Slice the fillet into 8 even portions. -
Assemble the Rolls
Now it’s time to fill each salmon slice. Begin by placing a small amount of robiola cheese on each piece of salmon. Then, layer the grilled vegetables (eggplant and zucchini) on top. Carefully roll each piece of salmon into a tight cylinder, securing the filling inside. -
Cook the Salmon Rolls
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon rolls and cook them for just 1-2 minutes on each side. The goal is to sear the salmon slightly and warm up the filling without overcooking the fish. -
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the wildflower honey and soy sauce until well combined. This sweet-savory sauce will add a delightful finishing touch to the dish. -
Serve
Arrange the salmon rolls on a platter and drizzle the honey-soy sauce over the top just before serving. These rolls can be served warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer.
