Salmon roulade is a rolled-up dish made with salmon and various fillings. It can be served hot or cold and is suitable for both formal and informal occasions. A cooked version uses fresh salmon, while a raw version uses smoked salmon. Recipes for both versions are provided.
Many recipes contain the word “roll”. This is because a roulade is a type of dish that has been rolled up and can be made using different types of meat and contents, including salmon. A salmon roulade is a piece of salmon that has been rolled into a cylindrical shape after being filled in the center with some type of filling, such as spinach, cream cheese, and toppings. This dish is often served as a main course, it is more suitably served in the form of an appetizer or antipasti.
Salmon rolls are tasty as hot or cold food. How it is prepared depends solely on how you intend to eat it. When preparing a cooked version of this meal, fresh salmon is used and cooked in the oven until the fish and the filling inside are both cooked to a safe temperature. Preparing this cold roll requires the use of a smoked salmon and a variation of filling that does not require cooking, as this variation is eaten raw.
When preparing a meal for an occasion such as a dinner party, a fully cooked version of this dish is used. The cook prepared vegetables or other items to accompany the fish and to complete the meal. For a less formal occasion like a birthday party or an event where appetizers are featured, a raw salmon roulade is the more suitable option.
A simple recipe for a cooked wrap consists of fresh salmon, spinach and softened cream cheese, along with dill, lemon juice, salt and pepper. All but the salmon and spinach are placed in a bowl and mixed until combined. The salmon is rinsed and all bones and skin are removed. The cream cheese mixture is spread over the salmon, which is then topped with spinach and rolled up. The salmon is secured with kitchen twine, then the roulade is lightly pan seared to add color before being placed in the oven on medium-low heat to finish cooking.
The cold version of a salmon roulade varies slightly from the cooked variation. To make a raw wrap, you’ll need smoked salmon, softened cream cheese, parsley, and black pepper. The smoked salmon is laid flat and the cream cheese is spread on top. The cream cheese is sprinkled with parsley and black pepper and the salmon is rolled into the roulade. It is secured with string and placed in the refrigerator until it is time to serve.
