Smoked Salmon Pinwheel with cream cheese and dill sauce
Picture this: a soft wheat tortilla wrapped around a swirl of silky cream cheese, delicate smoked salmon, peppery rucola, and a surprising drizzle of IKEA’s dill sauce. That, in essence, is the smoked salmon pinwheel. It looks like a gourmet appetizer you’d find at a chic Nordic cafe, but it is something you can easily whip up in your own kitchen.
So, what exactly is a smoked salmon pinwheel? It’s a cold, rolled snack or appetizer made by layering savory ingredients onto a flatbread or tortilla, rolling it tight, and slicing it into spirals. Think of it as a sushi-meets-sandwich hybrid with Scandinavian flair. Each slice is rich, creamy, slightly tangy, and packs a punch of freshness from the rucola and sweetness from the Ikea sauce.
Smoked Salmon Pinwheel Ingredients
This isn’t just a pretty snack. The ingredients work together in a perfect balance. The smoked salmon delivers a savory, almost buttery depth. The cream cheese softens and binds the flavours, as well as binding the whole wrap together.
Rucola (arugula) adds that green bite—fresh, slightly bitter, peppery. And then there’s IKEA’s dill sauce: bright, herby, with a hint of sweetness that elevates everything. All of it gets wrapped in a wholesome wheat tortilla that holds it all together without overpowering the taste. And if you do not have access to Ikea sauce, you can make it yourself using this recipe: Ikea Dill Honey and Mustard Sauce.
While salmon pinwheels can be found on catering platters or at holiday spreads, this version stands out for its Nordic-inspired simplicity. It takes less than 5 minutes to assemble, requires almost no cooking, and offers a burst of taste that feels both indulgent and healthy. Perfect for lunches, party trays, or a light evening bite with a glass of crisp white wine.
The next time you are eyeing your jar of dill sauce wondering how to use it beyond gravlax, try rolling it into something unexpected. The result? A snack that looks impressive, tastes even better, and might just become a staple in your fridge.
