Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup cooked spinach, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, cooked spinach, dill, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Lay the salmon fillets flat on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut a small pocket in each fillet, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each fillet with the cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly inside the pocket.
- Carefully roll the fillets up to create pinwheels.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the salmon pinwheels for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
- Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist.
- Feel free to add other herbs or spices according to your taste.
