Makes about 20. These brightly colored tidbits make a great cocktail snack or salad garnish. Millet’s subtle taste won’t assert itself over the more boldly flavored rolls, but you’ll appreciate its texture and the way it prevents the cream cheese from overpowering the dish.
Directions
- Blend cream cheese and milk until smooth. Stir in millet, olives, fennel, scallion, dill, lime juice, and hot sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside. Layering pieces, create two 5x6 rectangles of salmon. Evenly spread about half of the filling onto each rectangle. Roll up salmon along the 5-inch side. Push filling in from ends to pack firmly.
