Salmon Cucumber Rolls
Ingredients
- 3 large English cucumbers
- 2 (213-gram) cans wild-caught salmon, drained
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 1/4 cup loosely packed dill
- 1/2 medium lemon, juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Toothpicks, to secure the rolls
- Sunflower sprouts, to garnish
Directions
Using a sharp knife, trim the ends off of the cucumbers.
Starting at one end, cut a thin strip off of the cucumber, trying to keep the thickness even. It might take a few slices until you start to get them right, but it’s not difficult. Alternatively, you can use a mandoline slicer. You’ll need about 10–12 strips.
Drain the salmon; in a bowl, mash it with the back of a fork. Add the grated carrot, dill, lemon juice and black pepper. Stir until incorporated.
Using a spoon, scoop up about 2 tablespoons of the salmon mixture and pack it into a ball. Place it at one end of a cucumber strip, then roll the cucumber up as shown in the recipe photo.
Secure the roll with a toothpick, then place a few sunflower sprouts on the top.
Repeat for all remaining rolls and salmon.
