Salmon and Philadelphia Log, a sophisticated Easter appetizer with 3 ingredients everyone loves
Salmon is the main ingredient of the dish. Its delicacy and smoked flavor add a touch of class. Choosing quality salmon can make a difference in the final result.
Line a loaf pan with some plastic wrap.
Cover the entire bottom and sides with slices of salmon.
In a bowl, prepare the cream by combining the spreadable cheese (set aside two tablespoons for decoration) with a little ground pepper, cubed flash-frozen salmon, and finely chopped chives.
Take the crustless sandwich bread slices and gently flatten them with a rolling pin to make them thinner and easier to roll.
Place them in the loaf pan covering the salmon, then pour in the cheese cream, finishing the base with more bread.
Seal everything tightly with the plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Once ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and decorate with dollops made with a piping bag of spreadable cheese and dill. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into slices about 0.8 inches thick. You can arrange the slices on a tray, decorating them with sprigs of chives for an elegant touch.
