Ingredients- 400g fresh salmon fillet
- 2 tortillas
- About 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cucumber
- Cream cheese, as needed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients. Ensure the salmon is fresh and the cucumber is crisp for the best texture and flavor.
Step 2
Gently pour 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the fresh salmon fillet. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes. This step helps to reduce any fishy odor and enhances the salmon’s natural flavor.
Step 3
Using a vegetable peeler, thinly slice the cucumber lengthwise. Cut each long slice in half, then gently fold them to create delicate cucumber ribbons. These will add a beautiful green accent to your bouquet.
Step 4
Pat the marinated salmon dry with paper towels. Slice the salmon into long, thin strips, about 1 cm thick. Then, carefully roll each strip up to form a beautiful rose shape. Try not to press too hard to maintain a lovely, open petal effect.
Step 5
Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat (no oil needed). Lightly toast the tortillas on both sides until they are slightly golden and pliable, but not crispy. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become brittle.
Step 6
Cut one of the toasted tortillas into several triangular pieces – these will be used for decoration. Spread a layer of cream cheese evenly over the remaining tortilla, leaving about a 1/3 border around the edge. Gently curve the edges of the tortilla upwards to create a slight cup shape, which will help hold the fillings. Place the triangular tortilla pieces in the center of the cream cheese-covered tortilla.
Step 7
Arrange the cucumber ribbons in the center of the tortilla, over the triangular pieces. This will form the handle or base of your flower bouquet.
Step 8
Artfully place the salmon roses onto the cream cheese-covered part of the tortilla, one by one. Overlap them slightly to create a full, abundant bouquet effect.
Step 9
Finally, tuck the fresh mint leaves into any remaining gaps between the salmon roses to add a touch of freshness and vibrant green color. Your beautiful salmon flower bouquet is now complete!
Step 10
May is a month filled with celebrations, like Children’s Day! Consider making this salmon flower bouquet as a special gift. It’s sure to bring joy to the recipient and a wonderful sense of accomplishment to you as the creator. Enjoy the delightful experience! ^^
