Ingredients
1 cup cooked or smoked salmon, finely chopped
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz) or puff pastry sheet
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped salmon, softened cream cheese, dill, chives, parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Roll out the dough: On a clean surface, unroll the crescent roll dough or puff pastry into a rectangle.
Spread the filling: Evenly spread the salmon and herb mixture over the dough, leaving a small border along the edges.
Create the swirl: Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Slice the log into 1-inch thick rolls.
Arrange and bake: Place the rolls cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Cool slightly before serving: Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serve these Swirling Salmon and Herb Rolls warm or at room temperature, accompanied by a light salad or a tangy dipping sauce such as a dill yogurt dip or lemon aioli. They are perfect for brunches, picnics, or festive gatherings.
To store, place leftover rolls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 5-7 minutes to retain their crispness.
