We’ve just come back from our annual Prince Rupert fishing trip, and wow, did we have a great catch! We reeled in a ton of fresh salmon, and the first thing we did was pop the Pink salmon onto the smoker.
While Pink salmon might not always get the best press, it’s perfect for smoking—the smoky flavor really enhances this often-overlooked fish.
But hey, if you don’t have a smoker, don’t worry! Costco offers some excellent smoked salmon that’s both tasty and budget-friendly. It’s a fantastic alternative if you’re craving that rich, smoky taste without the hassle.
Smoked Salmon Roll Ups
The best part of smoking salmon is making some of our favorite salmon recipes the next day. This smoked salmon roll up recipe is the perfect way to create a healthy appetizer that is sure to delight your taste buds!
Ingredients
Begin with a few simple ingredients from the grocery store.
- Smoked salmon fillet, skin off – we love using our cold smoked salmon recipe, but our Traeger hot smoked salmon works great too!
- Whipped herb and garlic cream cheese, room temperature.
- Ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- Mini cucumber, cut into matchsticks
- Fresh dill, chopped
- Bagel seasoning
- Lemon zest
Instructions
1. Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on the counter.
2. Sprinkle with bagel seasoning.
3. Place the salmon fillet in the center of the wrap.
4. Cover with another layer of plastic wrap.
5. Use a rolling pin to roll the smoked salmon flat, forming a rectangular shape. This may take some practise and pinching the salmon back together in places that it wants to spread apart.
6. Once the salmon is a uniform thickness, peel off the top layer of plastic wrap.
7. Carefully cover the fillet in a layer of cream cheese. The cheese must be at room temperature or it will cause the salmon to seperate as you spread it. Whipped cream cheese is best but you can also warm up regular cream cheese in the microwave to help it spread easier.
8. Place the avocado and cucumber in a line down the center.
9. Cover with fresh lemon zest and dill.
10. Now carefully roll the smoked salmon into a log using the plastic wrap underneath to help maneuver it.
11. Place the roll on a cookie sheet or tray and freeze for about 30 minutes. This makes it much easier to cut into pieces.
12. Place the roll onto a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into 1″ pieces. It helps to clean the knife between slices so that the salmon rolls don’t stick.
13. Serve with soy sauce for dipping and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks for Salmon Rolls
- Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth spreading. Cold cream cheese will cause the salmon to tear. Try thinning out the cream cheese mixture by combining it with sour cream in a small bowl.
- Chill Before Slicing: Freezing the roll before slicing keeps everything neatly together, making it easier to get clean cuts.
- Even Rolling: Use the plastic wrap to help you roll the salmon evenly. If the salmon starts to spread out, gently pinch it back together.
- Cutting: A sharp knife is key. Clean it between slices to prevent the salmon from sticking and to get clean cuts.
- Variations: Try adding red onion, green onions or crab to the filling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! You can substitute the whipped herb and garlic cream cheese with any spreadable cheese you like. Just make sure it’s soft enough to spread easily.
How do I store leftovers?
If you have any leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They’re great for a quick snack or as part of a healthy meal.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the roll-ups a day in advance and keep them in the refrigerator. Just slice them right before serving for the best presentation.
And that’s it! These salmon roll-ups are a simple appetizer that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a party or just want a tasty snack, they’re sure to be a hit.
