Description

A refreshing and light appetizer featuring thinly sliced cucumber wrapped around creamy mashed avocado and delicate smoked salmon, seasoned with salt, pepper, and sprinkled with black sesame seeds for an elegant finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Produce

  • 1 large English cucumber
  • 1 avocado, mashed

Seafood

  • 3 ounces smoked salmon

Seasonings

  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Black sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cucumber strips. Thoroughly rinse the cucumber and slice off both ends. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully slice the cucumber into long, thin strips. When you reach the seedy center part, rotate the cucumber and continue slicing from the other side until you have roughly 10-12 strips in total.
  2. Prepare the smoked salmon. Slice the smoked salmon into bite-sized strips and layer them on top of each other to make it easier to spread evenly inside the rolls.
  3. Dry the cucumber strips. Use a paper towel or parchment paper to pat the cucumber strips dry, removing any excess moisture to prevent sogginess in the final roll.
  4. Assemble the rolls. Spoon the mashed avocado onto one end of each cucumber strip. Layer the sliced smoked salmon on top of the avocado, spreading evenly to cover.
  5. Roll the cucumber strips. Carefully roll the cucumber strips over themselves, ensuring they are rolled tightly to hold the filling inside. Secure each roll with a toothpick if needed to maintain shape.
  6. Slice and season. Slice the rolled cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Season each piece with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garnish with black sesame seeds to add flavor and visual appeal.
  7. Serve immediately. Enjoy these light and refreshing smoked salmon cucumber rolls as an appetizer or snack, savoring the creamy avocado contrast with the smoky salmon and crisp cucumber.

Notes

  • For best results, use a ripe but firm avocado to ensure it spreads smoothly without becoming too mushy.
  • If you don’t have black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds can be substituted.
  • This recipe is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the cucumber and freshness of the salmon.
  • To make it easier to handle, you can chill the cucumber strips before assembling the rolls.
