Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large salmon fillet (about lbs)
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp softened cream cheese
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp dried dill (or 1 tsp fresh dill)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Filling

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in chopped spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a bowl, mix spinach mixture with feta, cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and dill until well combined.

Step 2: Prep the Salmon

  1. Lay the salmon fillet flat on a cutting board and slice it horizontally to create an even, thin sheet.
  2. Gently pound with a mallet if needed for uniform thickness.
  3. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Roll It Up

  1. Spread spinach-feta mixture evenly over the salmon.
  2. Starting from one short end, roll it up tightly like a jelly roll.
  3. Secure with toothpicks or tie with kitchen twine.
  4. Slice into 1½-inch thick pinwheels.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place pinwheels in a greased baking dish.
  3. Lightly brush tops with olive oil.
  4. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Remove toothpicks or twine before serving.
  2. Garnish with fresh dill or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
