Easy “Maki-Style” Smoked Salmon
Maki is a Japanese term for a type of Sushi, this is my interpretation and rather than using rice I have used cream cheese as it works particularly well in this recipe.

Method
- Wash and cut thin slices of cucumber with a vegetable peeler, leaving the skin.

- Place a layer of cling film onto a clean work surface and place the cucumber ribbons slightly overlapping on top.
- Lay the smoked salmon on top of the entire cucumber layer.
- Approx 2 cm from the edge of the salmon add the cream cheese mixture, don’t cover the entire layer of smoked salmon, as you will be rolling up like a swiss roll.
- Place in the refrigerator until required.
- Remove the cling film and place the roll on a cutting board to serve.
- Serve with a drizzle of the vinaigrette and a sprinkling of salt.
