Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, fresh spinach, lemon zest, Parmesan cheese, and chopped dill. Mix until smooth.
  3. Lay the salmon fillets flat on a clean cutting board, season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread a generous layer of the filling evenly across the seasoned salmon fillets.
  5. Starting at one end, gently roll each salmon fillet tightly into a pinwheel shape, securing the ends if needed.
  6. Place the rolled salmon pinwheels seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  7. Allow the pinwheels to rest, slice into rounds, and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure salmon is fully thawed if using frozen. For best texture, reheat leftovers in the oven.
