Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Pinwheels:

  • 1 large salmon fillet (about 1½ 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
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine (to hold the pinwheels)

Instructions

  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 the skillet from heat and let it 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. Prep the Salmon Fillet: Place the salmon fillet on a cutting board and carefully slice it horizontally to create a thin, flat piece. If needed, gently pound it with a mallet for an even thickness. Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble the Pinwheels: Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the salmon fillet. Starting from one end, tightly roll the salmon into a log. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold the roll in place. Use a sharp knife to slice the salmon roll into 1½-inch thick pinwheels.
  4. Bake the Pinwheels: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon pinwheels in a greased baking dish. Brush them lightly with olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve: Remove the toothpicks or twine before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill or an extra squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
