Rustic salmon rolls: a quick and tasty appetizer to try

Cutting the Rolls: Once completed, cut the rolls into slices about 2-3 cm thick. This step not only makes the rolls easier to eat, but also allows you to showcase the colors and different layers inside.
Presentation: Arrange the rolls on a serving platter. You can garnish with additional cucumber slices or chive sprigs for a touch of elegance.
Variations of Rustic Salmon Rolls
1. Rolls with Different Cheeses
You can replace the cream cheese with other types of cheese, such as ricotta, goat cheese, or mascarpone, to give the rolls a different flavor.

2. Avocado Rolls:
Adding avocado slices to the filling will make the rolls even creamier and more flavorful. Avocado pairs perfectly with salmon.

3. Spicy Rolls
If you love spicy flavors, you can add a little chili sauce or chopped chili pepper to the cream cheese for a touch of heat.

4. Vegan Wraps
For a vegan version, you can use whole-wheat tortillas and replace the cream cheese with hummus or cashew cream.

Preparation Tips
Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best possible flavor.
Advance Preparation: You can prepare the egg rolls ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic wrap, to keep them fresh.
Personalization: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations of ingredients. Add your own personal touch!
Serve Fresh: Egg rolls are best served fresh. Avoid leaving them in the refrigerator for too long, as they may lose their crispiness.
Storing Egg Rolls
1. Refrigerate
Egg Rolls can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Be sure to cover them tightly with plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out.

2. Freezing:
If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. However, I recommend freezing only the empty tortillas and filling them just before serving, as fresh ingredients don’t freeze well.

Pairings and Wines
1. White Wine
Rustic salmon rolls pair well with fresh, fruity white wines, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. These wines enhance the flavors of the fish without overpowering them.

2. Champagne or Sparkling Wine
For special occasions, a good Champagne or sparkling wine can be the perfect match to enhance the refinement of the dish.

3. Flavored Water
You can also serve water flavored with lemon and mint for a refreshing non-alcoholic option.

Conclusion:
Rustic salmon rolls are a delicious and versatile appetizer, perfect for any occasion. They’re quick and easy to prepare, allowing you to customize them to your tastes and preferences. Experiment with different combinations of ingredients and have fun surprising your guests with this elegant and flavorful dish. Have fun cooking and enjoy!
