SMOKED SALMON AND ARUGULA PINWHEELS with sandwich bread, a delightful appetizer easy and quick to prepare in 10 minutes, perfect recipe for holidays, idea for Christmas Eve.
Incredibly simple and delicious, the smoked salmon and arugula pinwheels are ready in a few minutes and are one of the most sought-after appetizers for holidays, especially during Christmas, they disappear quickly.
The recipe for smoked salmon and arugula pinwheels doesn’t require much explanation, you fill the bread and roll it, then let it rest. A layer of mayonnaise is always appreciated with salmon.
Of course, you can vary and enrich the recipe with other ingredients, for example, by adding caviar or you can replace arugula with curly endive or lettuce.
If you don’t like mayonnaise, to be honest, I don’t much either, replace it with a spreadable cheese like stracchino, Philadelphia, or simply ricotta.
The sandwich bread is ideal for making pinwheels, but you can use classic sandwich bread; you will have smaller pinwheels, but they work just as well.
Follow me in the kitchen today, there are smoked salmon and arugula pinwheels!

Ingredients
- 1 sandwich bread
- 2.1 oz smoked salmon
- 0.35 oz arugula
- 1.41 oz mayonnaise
Preparation
Flatten the sandwich bread with a rolling pin; alternatively, sandwich bread is fine but you need to remove the crust.
Spread it with mayonnaise; if you prefer, add a pinch of pepper, and add the salmon slices.
Fill with well-washed arugula, patted dry with paper towels, then roll it up tightly.
Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, then cut into slices. I made 5 slices.
