Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 burrito style spinach wraps (or can use any burrito size wrap)
4-6 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
½ tablespoon chives
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2-3 cups spinach
4-6 ounces smoked salmon

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine cream cheese, dill, chives, and garlic powder. Mix until well-incorporated and creamy.
  • Lay out both wraps and evenly spread the cream cheese onto each one, leaving about a half inch of room around the edges. Spread the cream cheese out to the edge on one side, as you'll use this side to "seal" the pinwheel.
  • Evenly distribute the spinach between your two tortillas, followed by the smoked salmon.
  • Tightly roll up each wrap, tucking in the ends as you go. It's important to roll these as tightly as possible so that the pinwheels stay together when cut.
  • With a small serrated knife cut the edges off of each wrap, and then cut each one into ½ inch rounds. You should get about 14-16 pinwheels, 7-8 per wrap.
  • Feel free to assemble as-is or stick a toothpick into each pinwheel to serve. Serves 4.

SALMON PINWHEELS



Salmon Pinwheels image

Don't be intimidated by this fancy-looking breaded-salmon pinwheel--it's quite easy to do. This technique works best when you use "center-cut" salmon fillet. If you don't have a center-cut fillet or want to simplify the preparation, leave the fillet whole, spread the mayonnaise over it, top with the breadcrumb mixture and bake. To cut down on prep time, ask your fishmonger to skin the salmon for you. Serve with garlic-rosemary roasted potatoes and wilted spinach.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup coarse dry breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat (see Tip)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped rinsed capers
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 ¼ pounds center-cut salmon fillet, skinned and cut lengthwise into 4 strips
4 teaspoons low-fat mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix breadcrumbs, oil, mustard, shallot, lemon juice, capers and thyme in a small bowl until combined.
  • Working with one at a time, spread each salmon strip with 1 teaspoon mayonnaise. Spread about 3 tablespoons of the breadcrumb mixture over the mayonnaise. Starting at one end, roll the salmon up tightly, tucking in any loose filling as you go. Insert a toothpick though the end to keep the pinwheel from unrolling. Place in the prepared dish. Repeat with the remaining salmon strips.
  • Bake the pinwheels until just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

SMOKED SALMON PINWHEELS



Smoked Salmon Pinwheels image

In the old days, I would go out to the buffets and eat my weight in smoked salmon! I especially liked it served traditionally, with capers, cream cheese and onions. The only problem was that the capers and onions always fell off the fork when I tried to eat it all together. This recipe combines all my favorite ingredients in an easy-to-make and easy-to-serve party appetizer!

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons diced red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
8 ounces sliced smoked salmon (we recommend Nova, but you make use the saltier lox)
2 tablespoons small capers, drained
1 seedless cucumber, with peel, sliced into rounds the size of crackers

Steps:

  • Combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, red onion, and basil in a bowl until completely blended.
  • On a piece of waxed paper, arrange the smoked salmon slices in a rectangle about 3 inches wide and 12 inches long, slightly overlapping each piece. (If the salmon slices are cut irregularly, simply piece them together like a puzzle.)
  • Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the salmon, sprinkle with the capers, and roll up like a jellyroll.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm, then cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place each pinwheel atop a cucumber round to serve.

SALMON-AND-SPINACH ROLLS



Salmon-and-Spinach Rolls image

Look for salmon fillets that are the same size. We found that 6-inch-long fillets work well, leaving the perfect amount of phyllo to wrap the fish on all sides.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 clove garlic, crushed through a press
Salt and pepper
6 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
4 skinless salmon fillets (6 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese, and garlic and season with salt and pepper.
  • Lay 1 sheet phyllo on a work surface and lightly brush with butter. (Keep extra phyllo covered while you work.) Stack 2 more sheets on top, brushing each with butter. Cut stack in half crosswise. Repeat with remaining 3 sheets phyllo and more butter to make 4 stacks total.
  • Season salmon with salt and pepper, then place 1 fillet in center of each stack and top with spinach mixture. Fold 2 opposite sides of each stack over spinach mixture and tuck other 2 sides beneath to form a packet. Brush tops and sides with butter. Bake packets on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. For the best flavor and texture, use wild-caught salmon if possible. Look for fillets that are firm and have a deep pink color.
  • Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. The best way to do this is to bake it in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through but still moist.
  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach will give your pinwheels the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overfill the pinwheels. If you overfill them, they will be difficult to roll and will likely fall apart. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per pinwheel.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown. This will give them a crispy exterior and a warm, gooey interior.

Conclusion:

Salmon spinach pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to get your kids to eat salmon. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
