Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spinach and Feta Stuffed Salmon
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine chopped fresh spinach, crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth.
  4. Lay the butterflied salmon fillet flat on the baking sheet and pat dry with a paper towel.
  5. Evenly distribute the filling over the salmon, ensuring complete coverage.
  6. Starting from one long edge, gently roll the salmon into a tight spiral.

  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving warm.
