Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon Pinwheels:

4 skinless salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Filling:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped

2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)

1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the Salmon:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly season both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Make the Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, spinach, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic, lemon zest, dill, and lemon juice. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the cream cheese is smooth.

Assemble the Pinwheels:
Lay a salmon fillet flat on a cutting board. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling evenly over the top of the salmon fillet.
Carefully roll the salmon fillet up tightly, starting from one end. Secure the roll with toothpicks if needed.

Bake the Pinwheels:
Place the stuffed salmon pinwheels in a greased baking dish. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked and the filling is bubbly. You can check the salmon’s internal temperature; it should reach 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.

Serve:
Once baked, remove the toothpicks (if used) and serve the stuffed salmon pinwheels hot with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Notes

For Extra Flavor: Add a drizzle of hollandaise sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.

Substitutes: You can use fresh basil instead of dill for a different flavor. For a low-carb option, skip the Parmesan and use extra mozzarella.

Make Ahead: You can prepare the pinwheels and refrigerate them (covered) for up to 24 hours before baking.

 

Air Fryer Option: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cook the salmon pinwheels for 10–12 minutes, checking for doneness.
