Rolled lettuce leaves encase smoked salmon, avocado slices, and a dill-caper Greek yogurt. Chilled lettuce is used as a wrapper while smoked salmon and thinly sliced avocado are layered and then rolled into compact cylinders. Avocado halves are thinly sliced and tossed with lemon juice to slow browning and maintain a bright flavor. Dill and chives are finely chopped and folded into the yogurt with olive oil and chopped capers to create a spreadable, herb-studded dressing. Letting the yogurt rest briefly allows flavors to meld and helps the spread bind the filling so the rolls hold their shape when sliced.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

What can I use instead of smoked salmon?

Use cooked or poached salmon as an alternative, but it will lack the cured smoky flavor and delicate texture of smoked salmon. Cooked salmon should be flaked or sliced thinly to better mimic the mouthfeel, and a light seasoning of salt and pepper can help compensate for the missing cured notes.

Can I swap Greek yogurt for something else in the dill-caper sauce?

Sour cream or crème fraîche can replace Greek yogurt for a similar thickness and tang. Greek yogurt is chosen here because its firmness helps the dressing bind to the filling; a thinner plain yogurt would need to be strained or used sparingly to avoid a runny filling.

What can I use instead of the lettuce leaves for wrapping?

Use larger, sturdier leaves such as romaine halves or butter lettuce for a firmer or more tender wrapper. Thicker leaves will hold more filling and provide more structure, but they change the bite compared with the delicate lettuce called for in the recipe.

Why do my rolls fall apart when I pick them up?

Rolls typically fall apart because the lettuce is too wet or the filling isn’t packed tightly enough. Pat the leaves dry and chill them upright before assembling, arrange the salmon and avocado snugly, and spoon the yogurt close to the filling so it acts as a binder; roll firmly and tuck the sides to form a compact cylinder.

How can I prevent the avocado from turning brown in the rolls?

Prevent browning by slicing the avocado thinly and tossing it immediately with lemon juice. The acid slows enzymatic browning, and assembling soon after slicing minimizes the avocado’s exposure to air.

The dill-caper yogurt looks watery or separates—what went wrong?

Separation often occurs if olive oil is added too quickly or the herbs and capers are not finely chopped. Stir the oil into the yogurt slowly to incorporate it, chop dill and capers finely so they integrate evenly, and let the mixture rest chilled briefly to allow it to homogenize before using.

How should I store this?

Refrigerate it right away, at 40°F (4°C) or below, and keep it there until it is served. Because a raw or dairy-based dish keeps only as long as its shortest-lived ingredient, follow the storage guidance on those ingredients’ own packaging rather than a single figure for the finished dish. USDA FoodKeeper publishes per-ingredient storage times; nothing here is a measurement of this specific recipe.
