1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed
2 cups (60g) fresh spinach, chopped
4 ounces (113g) feta cheese, crumbled
2 ounces (57g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
Toothpicks or kitchen twine for securing
Cook Spinach: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook 2-3 minutes until wilted. Let cool slightly.
Make Filling: In a bowl, combine cooked spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and dill. Season with salt and pepper.
Butterfly Salmon: Place salmon on a cutting board. Slice horizontally almost all the way through, leaving one edge attached. Open like a book.
Fill and Roll: Spread filling evenly over salmon, leaving a small border. Roll tightly from one short end to create a log.
Secure and Slice: Place toothpicks or tie kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals. Slice between toothpicks to create pinwheels.
Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place pinwheels on sheet, brush with remaining olive oil, and season. Bake 20-25 minutes until salmon reaches 145°F internal temperature.
Rest and Serve: Let pinwheels rest 3 minutes before removing toothpicks. Serve with lemon wedges and fresh dill.
