Preparation
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese (2 Tbsp), sour cream (1 Tbsp), lemon juice (1 tsp), lemon zest (½ tsp), and chopped fresh dill (1 Tbsp). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste to create the lemon cream cheese sauce.
Lay the smoked salmon slices (4 oz) flat on a clean surface. If desired, lightly brush them with melted butter (1 Tbsp) for extra richness.
Spread a thin layer of the lemon cream cheese sauce evenly over each slice of salmon. Carefully roll each slice into a spiral, starting from one end and rolling tightly but gently to avoid tearing.
If desired, place the spirals on a bed of baby spinach or arugula (1 cup) for serving.
Serve the smoked salmon spirals chilled or at room temperature, with any extra lemon cream cheese sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
