Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) smoked salmon
Vegetables and Herbs:
- 1 cucumber
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
Condiments and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Arrange smoked salmon slices flat on a pristine work surface, ensuring they are clean and ready for preparation.
- Generously apply a smooth, even coating of hummus across the entire surface of each salmon slice, creating a creamy base layer.
- Position crisp cucumber strips strategically along one end of the salmon, allowing for easy and precise rolling.
- Elevate the flavor profile by delicately sprinkling fragrant fresh dill, adding a zesty splash of lemon juice, and cracking a hint of black pepper for additional depth.
- With careful precision, begin rolling the salmon slices from the cucumber end, maintaining a tight and compact form to ensure a beautifully structured roll-up.
- Decide on your preferred presentation: slice the rolls into elegant bite-sized medallions or preserve their full length for a wrap-style serving, perfect for tortilla accompaniment.
- For optimal taste and texture, serve immediately while ingredients are fresh and vibrant, or refrigerate briefly to allow flavors to meld and enhance the overall culinary experience.
Notes
- Ensure salmon slices are at room temperature for easier rolling and better flavor blending.
- Use thin cucumber strips to prevent bulky rolls that might fall apart during serving.
- Select high-quality, fresh smoked salmon for optimal taste and smooth texture.
- Experiment with different herb variations like chives or parsley instead of dill for unique flavor profiles.
