Ingredients
For the filling:
1 cup cooked salmon
¼ cup cream cheese
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
-
Prepare the filling: Flake the cooked salmon into small pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the salmon, cream cheese, fresh basil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
-
Assemble the rolls: Lay out your wrap of choice (tortilla, rice paper, or cucumber slices). Spread a generous portion of the salmon mixture over the wrap, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll tightly, enclosing the filling. For tortillas, slice them into bite-sized pinwheels.
-
Chill (optional): For easier slicing and better texture, wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
-
Serve: Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately, or enjoy them chilled for a refreshing appetizer or light meal.
Notes
Substitutes: You can use canned salmon, tuna, or shrimp instead of fresh salmon. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Vegetable Add-ins: Add chopped cucumber, spinach, or avocado to the filling for extra texture and flavor.
Dairy-Free Option: Substitute the cream cheese with vegan cream cheese or Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
