SALMON PINWHEELS



Salmon Pinwheels image

Don't be intimidated by this fancy-looking breaded-salmon pinwheel--it's quite easy to do. This technique works best when you use "center-cut" salmon fillet. If you don't have a center-cut fillet or want to simplify the preparation, leave the fillet whole, spread the mayonnaise over it, top with the breadcrumb mixture and bake. To cut down on prep time, ask your fishmonger to skin the salmon for you. Serve with garlic-rosemary roasted potatoes and wilted spinach.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup coarse dry breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat (see Tip)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped rinsed capers
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 ¼ pounds center-cut salmon fillet, skinned and cut lengthwise into 4 strips
4 teaspoons low-fat mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix breadcrumbs, oil, mustard, shallot, lemon juice, capers and thyme in a small bowl until combined.
  • Working with one at a time, spread each salmon strip with 1 teaspoon mayonnaise. Spread about 3 tablespoons of the breadcrumb mixture over the mayonnaise. Starting at one end, roll the salmon up tightly, tucking in any loose filling as you go. Insert a toothpick though the end to keep the pinwheel from unrolling. Place in the prepared dish. Repeat with the remaining salmon strips.
  • Bake the pinwheels until just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

SMOKED SALMON PINWHEELS



Smoked Salmon Pinwheels image

In the old days, I would go out to the buffets and eat my weight in smoked salmon! I especially liked it served traditionally, with capers, cream cheese and onions. The only problem was that the capers and onions always fell off the fork when I tried to eat it all together. This recipe combines all my favorite ingredients in an easy-to-make and easy-to-serve party appetizer!

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons diced red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
8 ounces sliced smoked salmon (we recommend Nova, but you make use the saltier lox)
2 tablespoons small capers, drained
1 seedless cucumber, with peel, sliced into rounds the size of crackers

Steps:

  • Combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, red onion, and basil in a bowl until completely blended.
  • On a piece of waxed paper, arrange the smoked salmon slices in a rectangle about 3 inches wide and 12 inches long, slightly overlapping each piece. (If the salmon slices are cut irregularly, simply piece them together like a puzzle.)
  • Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the salmon, sprinkle with the capers, and roll up like a jellyroll.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm, then cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place each pinwheel atop a cucumber round to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and higher in contaminants.
  • Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently. The best way to do this is to bake it, grill it, or poach it. Avoid frying or sautéing salmon, as this can make it dry and tough.
  • Make sure the salad is well-chilled. The salad will be more refreshing if it is well-chilled before serving. You can chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, or you can make it ahead of time and chill it overnight.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley, will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad. You can also garnish the salad with lemon wedges or capers.

Conclusion:

Salmon pinwheel salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover salmon. The salad is made with cooked salmon, vegetables, and a creamy dressing. It is then rolled up into pinwheels and served chilled. Salmon pinwheels are a fun and easy way to enjoy salmon. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat fish.
