Smoked Salmon Supreme Recipe:
Ingredients:
- Tortilla wrap: 1 large whole wheat, spinach, or flour tortilla (or any wrap of your choice)
- Smoked salmon: 4-5 oz of smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- Cream cheese: 2 tablespoons of cream cheese (or herbed cream cheese for added flavor)
- Cucumber: ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- Avocado: ½ avocado, sliced
- Red onion: A few thin slices of red onion
- Lettuce: A few leaves of baby spinach, arugula, or mixed greens
- Capers: 1 tablespoon of capers (optional, but they add a nice briny contrast)
- Lemon: 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (freshly squeezed) or a few wedges for garnish
- Dill: Fresh dill (optional, for extra flavor)
- Black pepper: Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Wrap Ingredients:
- Slice the cucumber, avocado, and red onion thinly.
- If you’re using herbed cream cheese, you can either buy pre-flavored or mix some fresh herbs (like dill, parsley, or chives) into regular cream cheese.
- Have the smoked salmon, capers, and spinach or arugula ready to assemble the wrap.
2. Assemble the Wrap:
- Lay the tortilla wrap flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a thin layer of cream cheese in the center of the tortilla.
- Layer the smoked salmon slices over the cream cheese.
- Add a handful of spinach or arugula on top of the salmon.
- Add slices of cucumber, avocado, and a few rings of red onion.
- Sprinkle a few capers for a tangy bite, and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
3. Wrap and Serve:
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from one end to the other.
- Slice the wrap in half at a diagonal or serve whole, depending on your preference.
Serving Suggestions:
- Side Dishes: Pair with a small side salad, crispy potato chips, or some fresh fruit (like grapes or berries) to balance out the richness of the smoked salmon.
- Beverage: A sparkling water, lemonade, or a chilled white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc) would complement the wrap’s fresh flavors perfectly.
Tips:
- Lemon Zest: Add a little lemon zest to the cream cheese for an added layer of citrusy brightness.
- Herb Variations: Feel free to add fresh herbs like basil, chives, or cilantro to the wrap for additional depth of flavor.
- Wrap Options: For a lighter option, try using low-carb wraps or lettuce leaves instead of a traditional tortilla.
