Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix drained salmon, beaten eggs, dried parsley flakes, minced onion, and dried dill weed well.
- Separate the crescent rolls into individual triangles.
- Spread each roll with softened butter.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of the salmon mixture onto the wide end of each roll.
- Roll up starting from the wide end, enclosing the filling.
- Place the roll-ups on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve hot with cheese sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some grated Parmesan cheese or finely chopped green onions to the salmon mixture. If you prefer a lighter option, substitute the crescent rolls with whole wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps. For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the cheese sauce. These roll-ups can also be made with canned tuna for a different twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious salmon roll-ups hot with a creamy cheese sauce on the side for dipping. They make a great appetizer or light meal paired with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables. For a heartier option, consider serving them alongside a bowl of Deluxe Shrimp Salad to create a seafood-themed feast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the roll-ups on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the crescent rolls soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned?
Yes, you can use cooked and flaked fresh salmon in place of canned salmon. Make sure to season it well, as canned salmon is usually pre-seasoned. Fresh salmon will add a lovely texture and flavor to the roll-ups.
Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the roll-ups, place them on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they are coming straight from the fridge.
What kind of cheese works best for the cheese sauce?
A blend of cream cheese and cheddar works wonderfully for a rich and creamy cheese sauce. You can also experiment with pepper jack for a spicier version or use a sharp cheddar for a more robust flavor. Just melt the cheese with a bit of milk on low heat until smooth.
