Pescatarian Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
Silky smoked salmon wrapped around a bright, herby avocado filling and a crisp cucumber spear — these little roll-ups are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the plate before you even sit down. The avocado gets mashed with fresh lemon juice, chives, and dill, so every bite is creamy, tangy, and packed with flavor without a single grain or processed ingredient in sight. That makes them a natural fit for anyone eating grain-free and seafood-forward, since the whole recipe leans on clean, whole-food ingredients from start to finish. Optional capers add a briny little punch if you want to take the flavor up a notch. The technique is genuinely simple — spread, roll, repeat — and the result looks far more impressive than the effort involved. They hold up nicely in the fridge for up to an hour, so you can prep them ahead for a party or a light lunch without any last-minute stress.
