Philadelphia rolls
Salmon cream maki
Philadelphia rolls are a style of sushi featuring cream cheese as a key ingredient, typically combined with smoked salmon and wrapped in rice and nori.
The name references Philadelphia brand cream cheese.
Unlike traditional Japanese sushi, Philadelphia rolls are an American invention, part of the broader category of Western-style maki: I'll have two Philadelphia rolls and a spicy tuna.
