Ingredients
- 75g (3oz) soft cream cheese
- 2 tbsp creme fraiche
- 350g (12oz) pre-sliced smoked salmon
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp snipped fresh chives
- 8 large slices wheaten bread
- 1 lemon
- 25g (1oz) wild rocket
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Place the red onion in a small bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover, then drain off immediately. This softens the raw flavour of the onion.
- Return the red onion to the bowl and add the cream cheese, creme fraiche and chives. Season to taste and mix well to combine.
- On a sheet of clingfilm, place three overlapping slices of smoked salmon. Spread the cream cheese mixture a few millimetres thick over the top of the salmon, right out to the edges. Roll up into a neat sausage shape. Repeat this process with the remaining slices and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Using a straight-sided scone cutter that is about 5cm (2in) in diameter, cut out two rounds from each slice of wheaten bread.
- Slice each chilled smoked salmon roll into four small rounds and lay each roll sideways on a bread round. Place four rounds on each plate.
Serving Suggestions
Garnish with some lemon rind and rocket leaves. Serve with lemon slices.
