Directions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the smoked salmon slices, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Arrange the smoked salmon pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh dill or chives, if desired.
7. Serve chilled and enjoy these delectable smoked salmon pinwheels as a delightful appetizer!
