Good to know

Chef's tip

To get perfectly even salmon rolls, place it in the freezer for 10 minutes before cutting: it will firm up slightly and be much easier to shape 🔪❄️.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber do not tolerate freezing or thawing; texture and flavor would be altered.

Storage : How long does it keep?

The sandwich bread softens quickly. The cucumber releases its water. Eat within an hour of preparation.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

The bread will become soggy and the ingredients lose freshness after a few hours.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable. Cold dish to eat as is.

Variations

Cut the bread into circles or squares.
Secure the salmon rolls with a wooden pick.
Garnish with a parsley leaf.

Mistakes to avoid

Spreading too much: spread an even layer of cream cheese.
Forgetting the lemon: 2-3 drops of juice and a little zest.
Serving without chilling: refrigerate until serving.
