Salmon Pinwheels

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Chilling time: overnight

  • 340g | 12oz cream cheese (i.e. 'Philadelphia.')
  • 85g | 3oz watercress, trimmed and finely chopped
  • 8 long, thin slices white bread, cut lengthways from a large sandwich loaf, crusts removed
  • 450g | 1lb smoked salmon, thinly sliced

  • lemon juice for sprinkling
  • freshly ground black pepper

    Prepare the pinwheels the day before you want to serve them. Mix the cream cheese and watercress together. Using a rolling pin, gently roll each slice of bread to make it thin and flexible. Spread evenly with the cream cheese mixture, then cover with a thin layer of salmon, trimming to fit where necessary. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the salmon and season with the pepper. Starting from a short end, roll up each slice tightly like a swiss roll. Wrap each roll tightly in cling film and refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, unwrap, cut each roll into five slices and arrange on a serving dish.
