Ingredients
  

For the Pinwheels
  • 1 lb Salmon Fillet Skinless fillet is best for easier rolling.
  • 1 cup Spinach Fresh or thawed frozen spinach, squeeze out excess water if using frozen.
  • 4 oz Feta Cheese Can substitute with goat cheese or ricotta.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil For greasing and adding moisture.
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill Optional for garnish.
For Serving
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice Brightens the flavors and pairs beautifully.

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting Board
  • sharp knife
  • Meat mallet
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by blanching fresh spinach in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes until wilted, then drain and squeeze out excess moisture. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach with crumbled feta cheese, stirring until well combined.
  2. Place your skinless salmon fillet on a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the fillet horizontally to create a thin, even layer. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly across the salmon layer, leaving a small border around the edges. Starting from one end, tightly roll the salmon into a spiral and secure it with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil and place the assembled pinwheels seam-side down inside. Brush the top with a little more olive oil and bake for 15-18 minutes.
  5. After baking, carefully remove the toothpicks or twine from the pinwheels. Transfer them to a serving plate and garnish with fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon juice.
