Salmon Roll Recipes

Steps:

• Cut each salmon slice into a 2-by-4-inch rectangle, reserving trimmed edges for another use. Cover a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Lay the salmon out on the plastic wrap, and cover with another layer of plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine crab meat and cream, mixing with a fork to break up the crab into fine shreds and to bind it lightly with the cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• For each salmon roll, lay a rectangle of salmon in the center of a 12-by-6-inch square of plastic wrap. Evenly spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the crab mixture on the salmon. Begin rolling the salmon on its long side, lifting the plastic wrap to help form the salmon into a cigarette shape. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap tightly to make the cylinder compact, and use your hands to make it a uniform shape. Place rolls on a small baking sheet, and chill in the freezer for 1 hour. The rolls may be made and frozen up to 2 days in advance.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the pesto and olive oil, and season to taste with salt. Set aside.
• An hour before serving, remove salmon rolls from freezer. Remove plastic wrap, and cut the ends from each roll to make neat cylinders. Let warm to room temperature. To serve, lay a salmon roll in the center of each plate. Spoon a little caviar (if using) on top of each, and garnish with a chervil sprig or small basil leaf. Spoon a little pesto oil on the plate, and serve.

Steps:

• Cut twenty-four 3/4x2-inch pieces of smoked salmon.
• Mix cream cheese, celery, walnuts, and green onion together in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice, coriander, and cayenne; mix well.
• Spread mixture on salmon slices and season with black pepper. Roll up to form neat rolls. Place a cucumber slice on each cracker and place a sprig of dill and a salmon roll on each cucumber. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• De-bone/skin canned salmon as preferred.
• Mix salmon, Cheddar cheese, egg, mustard, mayonnaise, chives, seafood seasoning, minced onion, and red pepper together in a bowl.
• Separate crescent roll dough. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of salmon mixture into the center of each unrolled piece of dough, wrap the edges, and pinch to seal. Place rolls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, 1 to 2 inches apart. Poke the tops with a fork and spray with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare the biscuit dough as per package.
• Roll into rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Spread with soft butter.
• Drain the salmon, flake and add juice, onions and mayonnaise. Spread on dough.
• Roll up from the long side, turn cut side down, close the ends.
• Bake at 400 degF for 30 minutes.
• Service with parsley sauce.

Steps:

• For the spicy mayo: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, gochujang and fish sauce until thoroughly combined.
• For the sushi roll: On a sushi mat lay down the nori. Spread the sushi rice over the nori in an even layer. Place the salmon horizontally over the bottom third of the sheet, about 1 inch from the edge. Top with some scallions. Roll up tightly and cut into 4 pieces. Garnish with the spicy mayo.

Steps:

• *Can be found at specialty Asian markets
• Serving suggestion: wasabi, sweet picked ginger, soy sauce
• In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped salmon, sesame oil, soy sauce, and mint leaves. Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a work surface. Place 1/4 cup of the rice on the left side of the nori sheet. Using wet fingers, form the rice into a 3-inch square, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Place about 2 tablespoons of the salmon mixture, diagonally, in a 1/2-inch wide strip, on the rice, with the top of the salmon mixture facing the top left corner. Place a spear of asparagus on top of the salmon. Starting with the bottom left corner, roll the nori over the filling. Continue to roll, ice cream cone-fashion, working towards the right corner of the nori. Seal the edge of the hand roll with water or a few grains of the cooked rice. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Arrange on a serving platter and serve with wasabi, sweet pickled ginger and soy sauce.
• Yield: 8 hand rolls

• Place the rice and water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the vinegar over the rice and mix with a fork. Transfer the cooked rice to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Allow the rice to cool completely before using.

Steps:

• Rinse rice in a strainer until the water runs clear. Drain.
• Combine rice and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
• While the rice is cooking, combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• When the rice is finished cooking, remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar mixture. Allow rice to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Place nori sheets on a work surface. Divide rice evenly between the sheets, then use a rice paddle to spread and flatten it out to the edges. Flip sheets so rice is facing down.
• Arrange avocado slices in a strip down the middle of each sheet. Layer with 1 1/2 cream cheese strips, 1 tablespoon panko, and 1 cucumber strip. Roll each sheet carefully, but tightly, around the fillings.
• Place thin layers of salmon on top of the rolls, then add masago and drizzle with hoisin and Sriracha mayonnaise. Sprinkle black and white sesame seeds over top. Slice each roll into 8 pieces.

Steps:

• Soak rice for 4 hours. Drain rice and cook in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Rice must be slightly dry as vinegar will be added later.
• Immediately after rice is cooked, mix in 6 tablespoons rice vinegar to the hot rice. Spread rice on a plate until completely cool.
• Place 1 sheet of seaweed on bamboo mat, press a thin layer of cool rice on the seaweed. Leave at least 1/2 inch top and bottom edge of the seaweed uncovered. This is for easier sealing later. Dot some wasabi on the rice. Arrange cucumber, avocado and smoked salmon to the rice. Position them about 1 inch away from the bottom edge of the seaweed.
• Slightly wet the top edge of the seaweed. Roll from bottom to the top edge with the help of the bamboo mat tightly. Cut roll into 8 equal pieces and serve. Repeat for other rolls.

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, (or use an electric beater), combine cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic,onion, paprika, parsley and Lemongrass/chili.
• Process until combined and smooth.
• Spoon onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape into a 6 inch roll.
• Wrap salmon slices around cheese roll to cover, except ends.
• Roll to press salmon to cheese.
• Wrap tightly in new piece of plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.
• Cut roll into 1/4 inch slices, serve on crackers or pieces of bagel.
• (If Lemongrass& Chilli is not available, (I was lucky enough to have a lovely person send me some from New Zealand, wonderful stuff!), use your favourite Hot spice.).
• An alternate way to do these, works well.
• Use unsliced, home smoked salmon, broken into small pieces and add to the mix after processing, so that there are little lumps of the smoked salmon. Roll in the plastic wrap and freeze until using. Then wrap very thin slices around roll after defrosting.
• You could even freeze the rolls without any salmon after wrapping and wrap with the slices of salmon when serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt butter in a large skillet over high. Add leeks; cook, stirring, until just golden, about 4 minutes. Add chard; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Let cool.
• In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, mustards, garlic, and soy sauce.
• Butterfly salmon by cutting horizontally through middle along one long side, leaving other side intact. Open flat, like a book. Flip salmon, skinned-side up; season with salt and pepper. Spread top with 1/4 cup yogurt mixture. Top with dill sprigs, then chard mixture.
• With a long side facing you, roll up salmon into a tight log. Secure with 6 pieces of kitchen twine, starting about 1 1/4 inches from end and spacing evenly. Cut salmon into 6 equal pieces, slicing between twine. Tuck a dill sprig under twine on each roll.
• Place rolls in a baking dish and drizzle with oil, rubbing to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until salmon is opaque on outside but still pink inside, about 15 minutes. Serve, with remaining yogurt mixture alongside.
