SMOKED SALMON PINWHEELS
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!

- Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm, then cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place each pinwheel atop a cucumber round to serve.

SMOKED SALMON ASPARAGUS PINWHEELS (PARTY SANDWICHES)
These pinwheels are absolutely delicious... don't wait for a party to make them, whip them up for a weekend brunch or evening snack! You can make these up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate. You should get around 48-50 pinwheels/sandwiches if you slice each bread roll into 8 pieces, but it will depend on how large you slice them, so servings is only estimated. Don't purchase the completely square slices of bread, purchase the sandwich loaf that is higher on the top. Plan ahead these need to chill for a minimum of 2 hours before slicing. You can also make these with fresh steamed asparagus, but I prefer the canned better.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a bright pink color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy smell.
- Use high-quality cream cheese. Full-fat cream cheese will give your pinwheels a rich and creamy texture. Avoid low-fat or fat-free cream cheese, as it will make your pinwheels dry and crumbly.
- Season the cream cheese mixture well. Add plenty of salt, pepper, and herbs to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as lemon zest, dill, or capers.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the salmon fillets. Make sure to leave a small border around the edges so that the cream cheese doesn't ooze out when you roll up the fillets.
- Roll up the salmon fillets tightly. Use a sharp knife to slice the pinwheels into 1-inch pieces.
- Serve the salmon pinwheels immediately, or chill them for later. Salmon pinwheels can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack.
Conclusion:
Salmon pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both elegant and delicious.
