Description
Delightful pinwheels of salmon stuffed with a flavorful mixture of spinach, feta, and garlic, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, crumbled feta, minced garlic, olive oil, cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
- Lay the skinless salmon fillet on a flat surface. Carefully spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the salmon, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the salmon fillet into a pinwheel shape. Secure the roll with toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold everything in place.
- Place the salmon pinwheels seam side down in a greased baking dish.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through, and the filling is heated thoroughly.
Notes
For a crispy exterior, consider searing the pinwheels briefly in a hot skillet before baking.
