Ingredients

  • 350 –480 g 12–16 oz smoked salmon slices
  • Zest of 1 large lemon more to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 250 g 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill
  • Table butter for spreading
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 large soft wraps or tortillas approx. 23 cm / 9" diameter

Instructions

  • Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and dill until smooth and well mixed. Spread half of this mixture over one flatbread, shaping it into a neat square. Lay half of the smoked salmon atop the spread. Thinly butter a second flatbread, then position it butter side down over the salmon. Spread the remaining filling over the top wrap, again forming a square, then layer with the remaining smoked salmon. Lightly butter the third wrap and press it, buttered side down, onto the salmon. Using a flat object such as a cutting board, press down gently to compress and even the layers. Wrap the entire stack tightly with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 48 hours, to allow the filling to set firmly. When ready to serve, trim the edges with a serrated knife using a gentle sawing motion to create a clean square. Slice the square into 6 or 7 even strips, then divide each strip into bite-sized squares. Present on a platter with toothpicks, accompanied by lemon wedges and extra dill for garnish if desired.

Notes

This appetizer keeps well for up to two days once cut, stored in an airtight container with baking paper between layers to prevent sticking. For best results, refrigerate the assembled stack and slice shortly before serving. Do not freeze, as the texture and flavour of the filling may be compromised.
