Salmon Spring Onion Rolls
1 8oz. package wild sockeye smoked salmon
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1 small spring onion*, chopped fine (or 4-5 green onions)
1 small cucumber, peeled and seeds removed, sliced into matchsticks
balsamic glaze
cracked pepper
*spring onions are available fresh during the growing season -- they have a fresh, pungent flavor unlike a regular storage onion.
1. Mix the mascarpone and 1/4 cup green onions, reserve a handful of onions for garnish.
2. Remove one layer of smoked salmon, spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of the mascarpone mixture in the center of the salmon piece, then lay 2 pieces of cucumber next to it, then roll the salmon with the cheese mixture in the center. Some pieces may be thick enough to slice in half and make two rolls.
3. Squirt balsamic glaze, in a zig-zag pattern on a plate. Then place rolls on plate and top with fresh ground pepper and reserved green onion.
The sweetness of the cheese and balsamic glaze are perfect paired with the smoked salmon and bright spring onion, then you have a nice crunch from the cucumber. Sigh...I want some more right now! Go ahead and make them for your next get together -- you will look like a gourmet chef!
