Low Carb Salmon and Cream Cheese Pinwheels
Low carb salmon and cream cheese pinwheels are a fantastic lunch idea for smoke salmon. I always struggle to find creative ways on how to consume more salmon, attempting to get more omega 3’s into my diet.
I watched a video by TipHero on Facebook a little while ago. They used a salami exterior, and placed the pinwheels on crackers (Low Carb Nightmare!)… so I thought I’d give it a spin and try the smoked salmon instead.
The smoked salmon tastes fantastic with the cream cheese. When the cheese is fully rolled out, make sure to put some extra herbs and spices in there for some flavour to enhance the cream cheese and salmon combination.
Salmon is packed with so many good anti inflammatory factors, making it important to include fish and seafood into your diet at least a few times a week. With a recipe this easy, you’ll be able to incorporate it into your lunch every day if you wanted to!

Low Carb Salmon and Cream Cheese Pinwheels
I have attempted to keep the ingredients fairly similar this week, which reflected nicely in my Sunday meal prep day. It usually takes me around 2 hours to make all 5 meals, and increasing the quantity (for a family) wouldn’t add that much extra time onto that.
So for 2 hours on a Sunday, I have lunches for the whole week, and sometimes even dinners! I’m not a big fan of eating the same meal 5 times a week. The diversity is not only better for your health, but it keeps your taste buds from wandering into sugar-land…
Having the same casserole or bulk food every meal of the day is my form of torture. It’s much cheaper and easier to eat in bulk, but the experience is far greater if diversification becomes routine.
Keep an eye out for the recipes over the coming days. I hope you enjoy them just as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Would adding a bit of avocado to this roll be okay, like mock Sushi lol? I miss sushi.
