Cinnamon Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
Smoked salmon and creamy avocado are a match made in flavor heaven, and these little roll-ups deliver that combination in the most satisfying, bite-sized way. The avocado filling gets brightness from fresh lemon juice and a herbaceous punch from chives and dill, making every roll feel fresh and vibrant. Crisp cucumber matchsticks tucked inside add a satisfying crunch that plays beautifully against the silky salmon and smooth avocado. If you want a little briny pop, a few capers take the whole thing to another level. Warm spices like cinnamon have no place here — this recipe is built entirely around clean, savory, and fresh flavors, so there's nothing to swap or second-guess. They come together quickly with no cooking required, making them ideal for a light lunch, an elegant appetizer, or a protein-packed snack. Make them just before serving or prep them up to an hour ahead and let the fridge do the work.
