Smoked Salmon Rolls

Whenever I eat sushi, I always get the rolls that have cream cheese in them – which is weird, because at no other time do I eat cream cheese with my fish. Hmmm, maybe I should start? These low-carb smoked salmon rolls have all the flavor and crunch of the typical Philadelphia Roll, but none of the rice and they can be made in minutes. They’re the perfect appetizer for an impromptu happy hour!
