# Directions:

01 - In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, chopped hard-boiled eggs, lemon juice, black pepper, and chopped dill. Mix thoroughly until uniform.
02 - Place one nori sheet shiny side down onto a bamboo sushi mat or clean kitchen towel.
03 - If desired, spread a thin, even layer of light cream cheese over the nori, leaving a 0.75-inch border at the top edge.
04 - Evenly spread one-fourth of the cottage cheese filling along the bottom third of the nori sheet.
05 - Top the filling with smoked salmon slices followed by julienned cucumber, carrot, sliced avocado, and finely sliced spring onions.
06 - Starting from the bottom edge, roll the nori tightly using the mat, keeping the fillings compact. Moisten the top edge with water to seal the roll.
07 - Repeat steps with the remaining nori sheets and fillings to create four rolls in total.
08 - Using a sharp, damp knife, slice each roll into 6 to 8 pieces.
09 - Arrange slices on a platter, garnish with additional fresh dill, and serve with soy sauce or tamari, wasabi, and pickled ginger.

# Chef Secrets:

01 -
  • High protein content with smoked salmon and cottage cheese

02 -
  • For extra protein, add cooked quinoa or use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese
  • Swap smoked salmon for smoked trout or tofu for a pescatarian or vegetarian version
03 -
  • Use a sharp damp knife to get clean slices without squishing the roll
  • Moisten the edge of the nori just enough to seal the roll securely
