Smoked Salmon And Basil Rolls With Crème Fraîche Recipes

SMOKED SALMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut twenty-four 3/4x2-inch pieces of smoked salmon.
• Mix cream cheese, celery, walnuts, and green onion together in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice, coriander, and cayenne; mix well.
• Spread mixture on salmon slices and season with black pepper. Roll up to form neat rolls. Place a cucumber slice on each cracker and place a sprig of dill and a salmon roll on each cucumber. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice.

SMOKED SALMON AND BASIL ROLLS WITH CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Place 1 salmon slice on work surface. Spread 2 teaspoons crème fraîche over salmon. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons chopped basil. Sprinkle with pepper. Starting at 1 short end, roll up salmon slice, enclosing filling. Spread 1 teaspoon crème fraîche over top of roll; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon chopped basil. Cut roll crosswise into 5 slices (keep sliced roll together). Repeat with remaining salmon, crème fraîche, and chopped basil. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Transfer salmon rolls to plate; cover and chill.) Arrange basil leaves on platter. Using small spatula, top each basil leaf with 1 sliced salmon roll, fanning slightly.

SMOKED SALMON WITH HORSERADISH CRèME FRAîCHE & BEETROOT

Steps:

• Fold the crème fraîche with the horseradish and vodka, if using, with a little seasoning. Chill.
• In a bowl, mix the vinegar, olive oil and honey. Toss half the dressing through the beetroot and chill until ready to serve.
• Before serving, divide the slices of salmon between 8 plates, then top with a spoonful of the crème fraîche and bring up the sides of the salmon to make a 'flower'. Arrange the salad and beetroot round the salmon, scatter with the dill. Grind over some black pepper, drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve with toast, if you like.
