Whenever I eat sushi, I always get the rolls that have cream cheese in them – which is weird, because at no other time do I eat cream cheese with my fish. Hmmm, maybe I should start? These low-carb smoked salmon rolls have all the flavor and crunch of the typical Philadelphia Roll, but none of the rice and they can be made in minutes. They’re the perfect appetizer for an impromptu happy hour!
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 4 oz smoked salmon
- 4 oz chive and onion cream cheese
- ½ cucumber, deseeded and sliced into thin strips
- Lay out a bit of plastic wrap.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds around the center of the plastic wrap.
- Lay the smoked salmon pieces over the sesame seeds, making sure to overlap the pieces so they form a solid layer.
- Spread cream cheese over the smoked salmon.
- Place your cucumber strips on the left side of the salmon and cream cheese.
- Using the plastic wrap to help you lift up the salmon pieces, roll the salmon into a tube.
- Move the salmon roll to the center of the plastic wrap and wrap the plastic around it.
- Place the salmon roll in the freezer for 4 minutes, so it's easier to slice.
- Slice and serve.

Place your cucumber strips on the left side of the salmon and cream cheese.
Using the plastic wrap to help you lift up the salmon pieces, roll the salmon into a tube. Make sure you don’t roll the plastic wrap up with the salmon and cream cheese. The plastic wrap should always be on the outside of your roll.

Don’t you just love that there’s no mess to clean up?!

I love smoked salmon but haven’t had it in ages. This is such a cute idea! We love sushi around here, and the cream cheese ones are always my favorite. Yum!
Thank you!! I always go right to the cream cheese ones. My husband says I don’t like real sushi because I insist on the rolls with cream cheese, but I don’t care. It feels decadent! 🙂
