Ingredients

  • 12 slices of smoked salmon
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp capers, drained
  • Thin crackers or toasted baguette slices
  • Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  • Lay out the smoked salmon slices on a flat surface. Spoon a small dollop of the dill cream cheese mixture onto the center of each slice.
  • Carefully roll each salmon slice around the cream cheese, creating elegant, bite-sized wraps.
  • Arrange the salmon and dill cream cheese wraps on a charcuterie board or serving platter.
  • Garnish the board with capers, thin crackers or toasted baguette slices, and lemon wedges for an extra touch of freshness.

Helpful Tips

  • For a variation: Try adding a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture for a spicy kick.
  • If you’re short on fresh dill, substitute with dried dill but use only 1 tablespoon as dried herbs are more concentrated.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the cream cheese mixture a day in advance and store in the refrigerator. Assemble the salmon wraps just before serving to ensure freshness.
