Description
Stuffed Salmon Pinwheels are a delightful combination of tender salmon and a creamy, herb-infused filling that melts in your mouth. Each bite offers a burst of flavor, with the freshness of dill and the richness of cream cheese perfectly complementing the savory salmon.
Ingredients
- Salmon Fillets: 2 (6 oz each, skinless)
- Cream Cheese: 4 oz (softened)
- Dill: 2 tbsp (fresh, chopped)
- Garlic Powder: 1 tsp
- Lemon Juice: 1 tbsp
- Salt: 1/2 tsp
- Pepper: 1/4 tsp
- Spinach: 1 cup (fresh, chopped)
- Olive Oil: 1 tbsp (for cooking)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Lay the salmon fillets flat on a cutting board and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each fillet.
- Sprinkle the chopped spinach over the cream cheese layer.
- Carefully roll each salmon fillet tightly from one end to the other.
- Secure the rolls with toothpicks and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Drizzle olive oil over the top of the pinwheels.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the pinwheels a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator before baking.
