  1. To prepare the Spinach and Salmon Crepes, start by placing chickpea flour, oil, spinach, water, baking soda, salt, and vinegar in a blender. Blend everything for about 30-40 seconds.
  2. Once the crepe batter is ready, pour one ladle into a pan, making sure to have previously greased it with a light spray of extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Cook the mixture on one side for two minutes over medium heat, then flip it over and repeat the process. If you like the idea of having a crispy crust, add some grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese towards the end of cooking on both sides of the crepe to obtain a tasty and crunchy wrapper.
  4. Finally, fill the crepes with cottage cheese, smoked salmon, and arugula (rocket). Fold the crepe in half and serve hot. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Variations and Alternatives

If you prefer sliced cheese inside your crepes, you can easily substitute the cottage cheese with your favorite cheese slices of equivalent weight. If you choose this option, I suggest using a couple of slices of mild-flavored cheese to avoid overpowering the salmon’s delicate taste. You could also do a combination of both (25g sliced cheese and 50g cottage cheese).

If you’re just looking for an alternative to cottage cheese, ricotta makes an excellent substitute.

Tips

Creating a crispy crust with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is completely optional and depends on personal taste.

I recommend not adding salt to keep the recipe healthier, as the salmon already provides enough natural saltiness to enhance the dish’s flavor.

Storage

These Crepes are best enjoyed while still warm, or within a few hours of preparation. Storing them in the refrigerator or keeping them too long may cause them to become too moist due to the humidity absorbed from the cheese and salmon.
