Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spinach & Feta Stuffed Salmon
  1. In a bowl, combine sautéed spinach with crumbled feta cheese, mixing until creamy. Allow to cool slightly while prepping salmon.
  2. Lay the salmon fillet on a cutting board and carefully slice horizontally to create a thinner piece. Use a meat mallet to pound to about half an inch thick. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly across the salmon, leaving a small edge. Roll the salmon tightly into a pinwheel shape and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil. Place pinwheels inside, seam side down, and brush tops with olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through.
  5. Remove from oven, take out toothpicks, and slice the pinwheels into bite-sized pieces. Garnish with dill or lemon juice before serving.
