Smoked Salmon Chive Rolls

Remember my 45 Minute Pistachio Roll and Smoked Salmon Chive Pancake recipes?  Well I combined them into one magical dish just in time for your magical spring gatherings.  I present to you Smoked Salmon Chive Rolls with Dill Lemon Pesto.

You can make mini ones like I did here or make one huge one.  Forming them into rolls make them so portable so they are perfect to bring to picnics.

The only modifications you need to make when making these rolls are to leave out the sugar when making the dough and adding chives and some savory seasonings like onion and garlic powder and salt and pepper.

With the filling it’s replaced with cream cheese and little pieces of smoked salmon.

Spring Garnishes

Then to add a touch of spring I made a pesto made with dill, pine nuts and lots of lemon.  It also doesn’t hurt to add some edible flowers on top with sprigs of fresh dill.  I love the little peeks of chive in the dough.  It looks like it’s filled with confetti.

I serve more cream cheese and dill pesto on the side as you can’t have enough condiments.
