- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh dill, fresh chives, capers, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Arrange the smoked salmon slices on the plastic wrap, slightly overlapping them to form a rectangular shape.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the smoked salmon slices, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one short end, carefully roll up the smoked salmon and cream cheese into a tight log. Use the plastic wrap to help you roll and shape the pinwheel. Wrap the log tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the chilled pinwheel log and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into ½-inch thick pinwheels.
- Arrange the smoked salmon pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh dill or chives, if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy these delectable smoked salmon pinwheels as a delightful appetizer!
