Looking for more ways to incorporate salmon into your diet? Many people think of this heart-healthy fish as an entree, but it works beautifully for a quick bite as well!

These smoked salmon cucumber rolls with honey mustard are low-carb, gluten-free, dairy-free, and oh-so-delicious. They look fancy, which makes them a great appetizer, but you can just as easily make them for a snack, quick lunch, or high-protein pre-workout snack.

You can also prep them ahead of time whenever you need a bite on the go. They’re so portable and convenient, which makes them great for meal-prepping.

For the best presentation, make sure you trim the strips of salmon a bit narrower than the strips of cucumber are long. That way, a little cucumber will poke out of each end.

Smoked salmon is a great source of protein and healthy fats. Thanks to these rolls, you can enjoy the health benefits as a quick bite whenever you like!

How to make smoked salmon cucumber rolls

Would you believe this tasty recipe comes together in just four simple steps? Let’s see how it’s done!

Step 1: Heat the honey for about 10 seconds in the microwave to make it easier to blend.

Step 2: Combine the honey and mustard in a small bowl.

Step 3: Place a strip of salmon on a cutting board. Spread on a thin layer of the honey mustard mixture, place 2 or 3 cucumber strips at one end of the salmon strip, then roll it all up. Move the roll to a serving dish.

Step 4: Repeat with remaining salmon strips.

You can serve your salmon rolls immediately or cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to enjoy.

Is smoked salmon good for diabetics?

Smoked salmon inherently has a lot of sodium, so I know some diabetics are a bit skeptical about using it. However, when enjoyed in moderation, I think smoked salmon’s health benefits definitely outweigh the sodium aspect!

This fish is a great source of protein as well as vitamins and minerals like niacin, vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus. It has also been shown to have moderately anti-inflammatory properties.

On top of that, salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, otherwise known as “good fats!” It’s also naturally a zero-carb food, so depending on what you serve it with, it should have a low impact on blood sugar.

Storage

These rolls are great to make in advance to serve to guests or grab when you need a quick bite. I like making a big batch to enjoy throughout the week!

Cover your salmon rolls or place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to one week.
