Hullo! Been craving smoked salmon lately and wanted to battle my pregnancy weight gains, so I've been making these a lot and thought I'll share em!

Ingredients :

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream (60 cal, if using light 40cal)
  • 4 cucumber pickles (negligible)
  • 3 Lettuce leaves (negligible)
  • 1 pack smoked salmon (varies, 170 cal for mine)
  • 3 Rice paper (35cal x 3, 105 cal)

Total : 335 cals

Recipe for sauce:

  1. Squeeze out the brine from the pickles so your sauce won't be watery. I use a kitchen towel and press out all the water.
  2. Chop into a mince. Mix with 2tbsp of sour cream.

Recipe for roll:

  1. Submerge a sheet of rice paper into a bowl of warm water for 3 seconds. Place onto board.
  2. Layer smoked salmon (I use two slices per roll), tartar sauce, then lettuce.
  3. Roll it up!

Optional: I nuke it in the microwave for 15-20 secs because I'm not a fan of ice cold foods. That's about the temp to get it warmish while maintaining the crispness of the lettuce + leaving the salmon uncooked.

There's also many ways to roll it, but I just do it burrito style. Rice paper is a LOT more forgiving than tortillas.

It takes me only 5 mins to put these together and they're very filling despite the low calories – I usually have one around lunch without breakfast, and it lasts me til 9pm 😀
