Salmon Pinwheel Ingredients 

With smoked salmon as the stellar ingredient, here’s everything you need to make these incredibly delicious pinwheels:

  • Whipped cream cheese: it holds the pinwheel together.
  • Fresh herbs: chopped chives or dill. Omit them if using Garlic & Herb flavored whipped cream cheese.
  • Garlic powder: extra flavor!
  • Large tortillas: any type of tortilla works, use your favorites.
  • Baby spinach: you can use field greens instead.
  • Smoked salmon: slightly savory and smoky, it’s the heart of these wraps!

Remember to grab the ingredient measurements in the printable recipe card below.

How to Make Smoked Salmon Pinwheels

These Smoked Salmon Pinwheels are so easy to make that you won’t want to wait for a special occasion to enjoy them! Here’s how to make them:

  1. Flavor the cream cheese
    In a medium bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese, herbs, and garlic powder. If you purchase Garlic & Herb flavored whipped cream cheese, omit this step.
  2. Spread the cream cheese
    Place the tortilla warps on a flat surface. Spread the cream cheese over the wraps on a thin layer all the way to the edge -this will help seal the wrap.
  3. Add the filling
    Distribute the spinach or baby greens on top of the cream cheese, and place a thin layer of smoked salmon on top.
  4. Roll and slice
    Roll the wrap, beginning one end, tightly. With a serrated knife, slice the wraps in half, then into ½-inch rounds, discard the edges (or eat them!), if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Assemble the appetizer
    Place the tub of hummus on the board and distribute the smoked salmon pinwheels and veggies around it.
