Categories     Appetizer     Seafood     Snack

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 burrito style spinach wraps (or can use any burrito size wrap)
4-6 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
½ tablespoon chives
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2-3 cups spinach
4-6 ounces smoked salmon

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine cream cheese, dill, chives, and garlic powder. Mix until well-incorporated and creamy.
  • Lay out both wraps and evenly spread the cream cheese onto each one, leaving about a half inch of room around the edges. Spread the cream cheese out to the edge on one side, as you'll use this side to "seal" the pinwheel.
  • Evenly distribute the spinach between your two tortillas, followed by the smoked salmon.
  • Tightly roll up each wrap, tucking in the ends as you go. It's important to roll these as tightly as possible so that the pinwheels stay together when cut.
  • With a small serrated knife cut the edges off of each wrap, and then cut each one into ½ inch rounds. You should get about 14-16 pinwheels, 7-8 per wrap.
  • Feel free to assemble as-is or stick a toothpick into each pinwheel to serve. Serves 4.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 7m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 pound smoked salmon, torn into large piece
1 cup cream cheese, room temperature
4 green onions, finely chopped, garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk eggs and heavy cream together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Take a large nonstick pan and set over medium heat. When the pan is heated add the butter and spread out evenly over the surface of the pan. Once it starts to foam turn the heat down and add eggs. Using a spatula swirl the eggs quickly in a circular motion as you gently shake the pan back and forth to cook evenly, you don't want any color.
  • Once the eggs begin to set, drop the pieces of salmon, small spoonfuls of cream cheese, and green onions over the top. Season with salt and pepper, then as you slide it out onto your cutting board, roll 1 side over the top as you go to form an omelette.
  • Slice crosswise into portions and serve.

Time 25m

Yield 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 pound (4 ounces) smoked salmon, minced

Steps:

  • Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.
  • If you can find it, I prefer Norwegian salmon; it's drier and less salty than other smoked salmon.

SMOKED SALMON AND CREAM CHEESE SOUP



Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Soup image

This lightly-creamed soup is truly special. It works as comfort food for a casual soup & salad dinner or a starter course for an elegant dinner party. On our recent trip to the US, my SIL gave me the recipe. She said her mother had copied it from a cookbook & did not recall the source. I wish I knew who to acknowledge & thank for this classy taste sensation. I hope you try this & enjoy it as we did. (PLS READ NOTES shown as steps 7, 8 & 9 of prep)... *Edited To Add* This recipe was revised to include the addition of garlic & Old Bay Seasoning.

Time 1h

Yield 8 8-10 oz servings, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups onions (yellow or white variety, finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (crushed & finely minced)
3/4 cup fresh dill (chopped)
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning (more as desired)
2 medium tomatoes (ripe, seeded & chopped)
8 ounces smoked salmon (finely chopped)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
8 cups water
2 cups fresh spinach (10 oz pkg, stems removed & leaves finely chopped)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1/3 cup vodka
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
snipped fresh chives (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in med-size stock pot over med heat. Add onion + garlic & saute till onions are soft, 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in dill, Old Bay Seasoning, tomatoes & smoked salmon. Cook 3 minutes. Then add flour & cook 1 min more.
  • Gradually stir in water & heat to a soft boil. Reduce heat & simmer uncovered over med-low heat for 20 minutes.
  • Stir in spinach & simmer 5 more minutes.
  • Stir in cream cheese (1 oz at a time) over low heat, allowing ea bit to melt into the soup.
  • When all the cream cheese has been added & the soup is smooth, stir in the vodka & lemon juice. Taste for seasonings & serve immediately.
  • NOTES: I entered this recipe as given to me & made a half recipe w/2 chgs in my trial version.
  • I left out the vodka (none in the house!), subbed dry white wine & frankly doubt I will ever use the vodka. I pd homage to a DH pers pref & subbed diced broccoli florets for the spinach. I pd homage to 1 of my own by adding 4 oz baby shrimp.
  • Pers pref are often at the heart of any success a recipe enjoys. I found this soup in need of salt, but DH did not. He found the lemon juice a bit excessive, but I did not. Bottom line is tasting for your pers pref is advised.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality smoked salmon. Look for salmon that is firm and has a deep, rich color.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the smoked salmon and cream cheese by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit of milk or cream. If it's too wet, add a little bit more cream cheese.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner cut off.
  • Pipe the dough onto the baking sheet in long, thin strips. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Bake the swirls until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the swirls cool slightly before serving. This will allow them to firm up.

Conclusion:

Smoked salmon cream cheese swirls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these tasty treats that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give smoked salmon cream cheese swirls a try. You won't be disappointed!
