Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Smoked salmon — Choose high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor. Look for slices that are firm and have a vibrant color.
  • Lefse — If you can't find lefse, you can substitute it with tortillas or thin flatbreads. However, the traditional Norwegian lefse adds an authentic touch to the dish.
  • Cream cheese — Feel free to use flavored cream cheese, such as dill or lemon, to add an extra layer of flavor to the rolls.
  • Fresh dill — Make sure to use fresh dill for its bright and aromatic taste. If unavailable, you can substitute with dried dill, but reduce the quantity by half.
  • Lemon wedges — Squeezing fresh lemon juice over the rolls just before serving adds a burst of freshness. Adjust the amount of lemon juice according to your taste preference.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra touch of flavor, add a thin layer of horseradish sauce or mustard before spreading the cream cheese.
  • To make the rolls more substantial, you can add thinly sliced cucumber or avocado along with the smoked salmon.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute the smoked salmon with gravlax, which is cured salmon.
  • These lefse rolls can be prepared in advance and refrigerated. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the lefse rolls with a side of mixed greens or a light salad for a complete meal.

Serving advice

Arrange the sliced lefse rolls on a platter and garnish with additional fresh dill sprigs for an elegant presentation. Serve with lemon wedges on the side to allow guests to add an extra squeeze of citrus if desired.

Presentation advice

To enhance the visual appeal, you can roll the lefse tightly and secure each roll with a small toothpick. This will help the rolls maintain their shape and make them easier to handle.
