Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Allow about 10 minutes for the oven to reach the desired temperature.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, crumbled feta, cream cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Lay a butterflied, skinless salmon fillet flat on a clean surface or baking sheet, patted dry.
  5. Spread the spinach and feta filling evenly across the salmon fillet.
  6. Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the salmon fillet into a tight spiral.
  7. Slice the rolled salmon into 1-inch thick pinwheels and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake the pinwheels in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until fully cooked.
  9. Allow the pinwheels to cool for a few minutes before serving.
