This recipe is from the *Best Seafood Recipes* of the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook series. I admit to a major revision of the recipe as it was originally for crepe rollups & I was not as interested in 12 crepes & their labor-intensive prep as I was in 6 sliced rollups as a starter course w/the sauce. If you disagree, then feel free to use your favorite crepe recipe to yield 12 crepes (a top & bottom w/the salmon mixture spread in the centers ... then rolled & sliced). If you are into an easier & make-ahead fix w/the same yummy outcome, then give this version a whirl. (Time does not include chilling time) *Enjoy* Ingredients:
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas |
9 ounces cream cheese |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
7 1/2 ounces canned red salmon (well-drained & cleaned of all debris) |
3 egg yolks |
1 teaspoon lime rind (grated) |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1 tablespoon french dressing |
6 1/2 ounces butter (softened) |
1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped) |
Directions:
1. Salmon Filling & Rollups:.
2. Blend or process cheese & lemon juice till smooth. Add salmon & blend till smooth. Chill in refrigerator till mixture has regained a spread consistency.
3. Spread the mixture equally & evenly atop 6 flour tortillas. Roll tortillas snugly & wrap in plastic wrap or secure w/toothpicks.
4. Put rollups in freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour to get very cold for easy slicing, but do not fully freeze.
5. When well-chilled, trim rounded uneven edges from the rollups & nibble on them while you slice ea rollup into 6 1-inch pieces.
6. Refrigerate till ready for use or overnight, but allow pieces to get close to room temp b4 serving.
7. For Lime Butter Sauce:.
8. Combine egg yolks, rind, juice & dressing in top of a double saucepan & stir constantly over simmering water for 1 minute.
9. Gradually whisk in sml pieces of softened butter & whisk till sauce thickens. Remove from heat & stir in chopped dill.
