Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Seafood

Time 5h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups Japanese sushi rice
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
6 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
8 ounces smoked salmon, cut into long strips
2 tablespoons wasabi paste

Steps:

  • Soak rice for 4 hours. Drain rice and cook in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Rice must be slightly dry as vinegar will be added later.
  • Immediately after rice is cooked, mix in 6 tablespoons rice vinegar to the hot rice. Spread rice on a plate until completely cool.
  • Place 1 sheet of seaweed on bamboo mat, press a thin layer of cool rice on the seaweed. Leave at least 1/2 inch top and bottom edge of the seaweed uncovered. This is for easier sealing later. Dot some wasabi on the rice. Arrange cucumber, avocado and smoked salmon to the rice. Position them about 1 inch away from the bottom edge of the seaweed.
  • Slightly wet the top edge of the seaweed. Roll from bottom to the top edge with the help of the bamboo mat tightly. Cut roll into 8 equal pieces and serve. Repeat for other rolls.

Time 15m

Yield 24 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon spanish paprika, dried
1/4 teaspoon lemongrass and chili spice mix (Hot, more if you wish)
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
8 -10 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, (or use an electric beater), combine cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic,onion, paprika, parsley and Lemongrass/chili.
  • Process until combined and smooth.
  • Spoon onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape into a 6 inch roll.
  • Wrap salmon slices around cheese roll to cover, except ends.
  • Roll to press salmon to cheese.
  • Wrap tightly in new piece of plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Cut roll into 1/4 inch slices, serve on crackers or pieces of bagel.
  • (If Lemongrass& Chilli is not available, (I was lucky enough to have a lovely person send me some from New Zealand, wonderful stuff!), use your favourite Hot spice.).
  • An alternate way to do these, works well.
  • Use unsliced, home smoked salmon, broken into small pieces and add to the mix after processing, so that there are little lumps of the smoked salmon. Roll in the plastic wrap and freeze until using. Then wrap very thin slices around roll after defrosting.
  • You could even freeze the rolls without any salmon after wrapping and wrap with the slices of salmon when serving.

I also use this as a filling for canapes and sandwiches. I usually mold it in a fish shaped mold and then sprinkle with chopped pecans and parsley mix and serve with Club Crackers.

Provided by Marsha Gardner

Categories     Seafood Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb can salmon
2-8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp grated onion
1 tsp horseradish
1/4 tsp liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 c chopped pecans
3 Tbsp snipped parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Drain and flake salmon, removing skin and bones. Combine salmon, cream cheese, lemon juice, onion, horseradish and liquid smoke. Taste for salt and add if needed.
  • 2. Chill several hours. Combine parsley and pecans. Shape mixture into logs and roll in nut mixture or mold in a fish mold. Serve with Club Crackers.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality smoked salmon: Opt for wild-caught, sustainably sourced smoked salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh and crisp vegetables: Crunchy vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, and carrots add a refreshing contrast to the richness of the smoked salmon.
  • Spread the cream cheese evenly: Make sure to spread the cream cheese evenly on the nori sheet to ensure that each bite has a creamy, flavorful filling.
  • Roll the sushi tightly: Use a bamboo rolling mat to roll the sushi tightly, ensuring that the filling is evenly distributed and the roll holds its shape.
  • Chill the sushi before slicing: Refrigerate the sushi roll for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow the flavors to meld and the roll to set properly.
  • Serve with accompaniments: Offer soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger as accompaniments to enhance the sushi experience.
