Blini with salmon
Description
The bake comes together simply and quickly. Pancake rolls turn out appetizing and incredibly tasty, and your friends and family are sure to love them. For a filling of soft cream cheese and salmon, just about any pancakes will work; I usually make them with plain milk pancakes, but you can bake whole-grain ones or any others you like. If you add fresh cucumber or avocado to the filling, this appetizer will be a wonderful choice for any holiday table.

Step 12
If you have salted fish in steak form, it is easier to cut it into sticks; if it is a large piece, cut it either the same way—into sticks—or into thin slices. Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat them dry.
