Ingredients
olive oil
0.2 tbsp
small yellow onion
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
garlic cloves
4 cloves garlic, minced
baby spinach
0.8 oz
cream cheese
1 oz
sun-dried tomatoes
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
salmon
0.4 lb
creole seasoning
0.3 tbsp
unsalted butter
0.7 tbsp
lemon
2 lemons, sliced
chopped parsley
Chopped parsley, for garnish
salt and pepper
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and spinach, cooking for another 3 minutes until the spinach wilts down. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool, about 5 minutes.
Once cooled, mix in cream cheese and sun-dried tomatoes until evenly combined.
Lay the salmon flat, season with Creole seasoning on both sides, and spread the cream cheese mixture on top in an even layer. If the cream cheese mixture is too soft and hard to roll, place the salmon (with the filling spread on top) in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This will allow the cream cheese to firm up, making it much easier to roll without the filling spilling out.
Tightly roll up the salmon and secure with toothpicks or tie with kitchen twine. Slice the salmon roll into 1 ½-inch thick pinwheels and arrange them in a large cast-iron skillet over a bed of lemon slices.
Scatter the butter over the top of the pinwheels, then sprinkle with a bit more Creole seasoning.
Bake for 15 minutes, until the salmon turns light pink and firms up.. Then broil on high for 3-5 minutes until golden brown on top.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Enjoy!
