Ingredients

Smoked salmon slices

8 ounces

Fresh spinach leaves

2 cups

Cream cheese

8 ounces, softened

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. Begin by washing and thoroughly drying the fresh spinach leaves to remove any moisture.
2. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Lay out the smoked salmon slices on a clean surface or cutting board.
4. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the lemon-infused cream cheese mixture over each slice of smoked salmon, creating an even layer.
5. Place 2 to 3 spinach leaves on top of each salmon slice, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
6. Season the spinach and salmon with a touch more salt, pepper, and an extra squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
7. Carefully roll up each smoked salmon slice tightly, starting from one end and rolling towards the other to create a compact log.
8. Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
9. Arrange the rolls on a serving platter, and if desired, garnish with additional lemon wedges or fresh herbs like dill for an extra touch of flavor.
