Notes/Advice:

  • Additions/Subtractions:
    • For a pop of color, garnish with thinly sliced radishes or microgreens.
    • If you’re making a larger batch, use a piping bag to easily apply the cream cheese mixture to the salmon.
    • Ensure the cucumber slices are thick enough to support the weight of the salmon rolls.
