Instructions
Creating Spinach & Feta Stuffed Salmon Pinwheels is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a clean cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice each fillet horizontally, creating a pocket for the filling. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff Salmon: Generously spoon the spinach and feta mixture into each salmon pocket. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if necessary.
5. Place in Dish: Arrange the stuffed salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin side down.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired.
8. Slice and Serve: Carefully slice each fillet into pinwheels and arrange them on a serving platter.
