Cheese Roll with Salmon for New Year
Description
It works for both special occasions and everyday meals. For the roll, you'll need sliced cheese, but if you can't find any—no problem! Take any cheese that's not too hard and cut it into thin square slices yourself. That works perfectly fine for making the roll. As for the fish, the most suitable varieties are lightly salted salmon, trout, or salmon. For details, serve with herbs and sauce.
