Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Pinwheels:

  • 1 large salmon fillet (about lbs, skinless)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill (or 1 teaspoon fresh dill)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Spinach and Feta Filling

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and dill. Mix until evenly combined.

  2. Step 2: Prep the Salmon Fillet

    Place the salmon fillet on a cutting board and carefully slice it horizontally to create a thin, flat piece. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3: Assemble the Pinwheels

    Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the salmon fillet. Roll the salmon into a log and secure with toothpicks or twine. Slice into pinwheels.

  4. Step 4: Bake the Pinwheels

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pinwheels in a greased baking dish, brush with olive oil, and bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through.

  5. Step 5: Serve

    Remove toothpicks or twine before serving. Garnish with dill or lemon juice.
