Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Spread
  • 250 g cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup sour cream adds lightness and tang
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder for a subtle savoury note
  • 1 large lemon, zested adjust to taste
  • 0.5 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.25 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
For Assembly
  • 3 large wraps or tortillas (23 cm / 9-inch diameter) soft and pliable
  • 400 g smoked salmon slices use good-quality, thinly sliced salmon
  • 1 tbsp butter for spreading lightly on wraps

Method
 

  1. Step 1 – Prepare the Creamy Spread: In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and dill. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Step 2 – Layer the Wraps: Lay one tortilla flat. Spread half the creamy mixture evenly in the center in a square shape for tidy edges.
  3. Step 3 – Add the Salmon: Place half the smoked salmon slices on top of the spread, covering evenly.
  4. Step 4 – Stack and Repeat: Butter a second wrap lightly, place it butter-side down, spread the remaining mixture, and top with the remaining salmon. Finish with a buttered wrap on top.
  5. Step 5 – Press and Chill: Gently press the stack down, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (up to 48 hours) to set.
  6. Step 6 – Slice and Serve: Trim edges, slice into strips and squares, and serve chilled with lemon wedges and fresh dill.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version. For extra zest, add Dijon mustard or capers. Wholegrain or spinach wraps add both color and nutrition. Always slice well-chilled for clean layers.
