Step
Serve Immediately: Arrange the Smoked Salmon Rolls artfully on a platter and serve immediately to ensure optimal freshness and flavor.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a small amount of prepared horseradish to the cream cheese filling.
If you prefer a smoother texture, use a hand mixer to blend the cream cheese filling until light and fluffy.
To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
These rolls can be prepared a few hours in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Other herbs that pair well with smoked salmon include chives, parsley, and tarragon. Feel free to experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
