Our star of the show, fresh salmon, provides a rich and succulent flavor.

Alongside the salmon, we’ll be using olive oil, minced garlic, diced onions, and vibrant spinach to enhance the taste profile.

Cream cheese adds a creamy and luscious texture, while salt and pepper help to season the filling to perfection. With this exceptional lineup, our salmon pinwheels are destined to be a hit!

You can easily prepare your salmon pinwheels ahead of time and cook later on the stove or on the grill.

Sautee your onions and spinach in olive oil, garlic and once cooked add in the cream cheese, salt and pepper and stir until smooth and creamy.

Spinach and cheese

Once we have our mixture ready, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and start crafting our salmon pinwheels.

Remove the skin from your salmon if it has and and lay on a clean flat surface. Spread a nice layer of your spinach and cream cheese filling along the salmon fillet.

Salmon prep

Time to start rolling your salmon tightly in to a delicious log!

Once rolled, use 3 to 4 wooden skewers (depending on how thick you want your salmon pinwheels), that will hold the pinwheels in place once you cut them in to sections.

After inserting your skewers, cut in between them to make smaller pinwheels.

The convenience of the pinwheel format makes them easy to portion and serve alongside a refreshing salad or a side of roasted vegetables.

Cook your salmon pinwheels in a pan on medium heat or on a grill. Approximately 5-6 minutes on each side. Depending on the thickness of your pinwheels, you may want to adjust the cook time.
