Ingredients

• 500 grams Norwegian salmon fillet (skinless)
• 150 grams Fresh spinach
• 200 grams Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 roll Plastic wrap

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Step 2

Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly, then sauté it in a pan with olive oil and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Lay the salmon fillet flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, butterfly the fillet by carefully slicing it horizontally until it can be opened like a book. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 4

Season the salmon with salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped dill, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the salmon fillet.

Step 7

Top the cream cheese layer with the sautéed spinach, spreading it out to cover the fillet's surface.

Step 8

Carefully roll up the salmon tightly, starting from one of the shorter sides, to form a roulade. Use plastic wrap to wrap the roulade tightly, sealing the ends securely. Place the wrapped roulade in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 9

After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and transfer the salmon roulade to a lined baking tray.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and tender.

Step 11

Let the roulade rest for a few minutes before slicing into even portions. Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or with a side salad for a main course.
