Sesame Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
These elegant little roll-ups bring together silky smoked salmon, creamy herb-flecked avocado, and crisp cucumber in a bite-sized package that feels genuinely fancy without any fuss. The avocado filling gets brightness from fresh lemon juice and a herby lift from chives and dill, making every roll taste fresh and vibrant. Because the whole recipe is built around whole, unprocessed ingredients, there's no need to scan labels for hidden sesame oil, tahini, or seed-based seasonings that sneak into so many store-bought snacks and sauces. Rolling the salmon around the cucumber matchstick gives each piece a satisfying crunch that plays beautifully against the buttery fish and smooth avocado. A few capers tucked in add a briny pop if you're feeling it, but the roll-ups are completely delicious without them. These work just as well as a quick lunch as they do passed around at a party — and since they can be made ahead and chilled, you're never scrambling at the last minute.
