Cucumber and Smoked Salmon Rolls with Dill Cream Cheese

[heart_this] · Jul 14, 2007 · 5 Comments

Cucumber and Smoked Salmon Rolls with Dill Cream Cheese

I was surfing food blogs when I came across this post on “Zucchini Rolls with Salmon and Cream Cheese” that looked really tasty. I ended making some changes to the recipe. I changed the zucchini to cucumber and swapped the chives for dill. The “Cucumber and Smoked Salmon Rolls with Dill Cream Cheese” were really good and they were simple to make. (Note: A mandoline really helps to slice the cucumbers thinly.)
I learned something new; the difference between hot and cold smoked salmon. Hot smoked salmon is essentially “cooked” by the heat of the smoke. For cold smoked salmon the smoke is cool when it gets to the salmon and it is essentially cured. (Cold smoked salmon is called lox when when herbs are used.) I was able to find some nice looking hot smoked salmon at the St. Lawrence market.
The dill cream cheese mixture is amazing all by itself. I imagine that it would go nicely on crackers or crostini or pitas, etc. You might want to make the dill and cream cheese mixture a little bit ahead of time to give the flavours a chance to mingle.

    That’s a great twist on the recipe! I love the addition of Dill. I just also wanted to mention that I originally got this recipe from Heather at The Culinary Chase

    Hello!!! I just wanted to let you know I tried your recipe and it was great. Since I wasn’t sure I would be as skilled to make the rolls, I made the “cream” and improvised the rest based on your post. Anyway, it was delicious and all my guests loved it. Many thanks to you, Janet and Heather for sharing.
