Lettuce boats with Salmon and Cream Cheese

This is such an incredibly simple and satisfying recipe and can be put together in no time at all, not only that it looks fabulous. Picture yourself sitting the garden, while others are eating boring old sandwiches you could be sat with the delightful flavours of Salmon and Cream cheese on your pallet.

No cooking is required here, just simple preparation which should take less than 5 minutes and could even be prepared in the morning or ahead of time and popped in the fridge for later.

Ingredients

Romaine Lettuce Leaf1 (15g)
Hickory & Applewood Smoked Scottish Salmon (Lidl)10g
Full Fat Cream Cheese15g
Fresh Dill1/8 tsp
Lemon Zest1/8 tsp

Method

  1. Zest the lemon and roughly chop along with the Dill
  2. Lay the Romaine Lettuce leaf our flat and remove the bottom where the spine is thickest as we will be unable to roll this.
  3. Spread the Cream Cheese evenly over the inside of the leaf being sure not to pierce the leaf.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped Lemon and dill evenly over the cream cheese layer
  5. Gently lay the salmon over the Cream Cheese, Lemon & Dill layer.
  6. From the top of the leaf, roll the leaf up to form a small wrap
  7. Pop a cocktail stick through the wrap and using a pair of scissors and chop off any excess stick. this will prevent the wrap from unraveling.
