Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skinless)
- 120 grams Spinach leaves (fresh)
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium piece Shallot (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped, optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
Lay the salmon fillets flat on a clean surface. If the fillets are too thick, gently pound them with a meat mallet to make them more uniform in thickness.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped shallot until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with cream cheese. Stir well to create a creamy filling.
Spread an even layer of the spinach and cream cheese mixture onto each salmon fillet. Carefully roll up each fillet and secure with toothpicks if needed. Place the rollups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the salmon rollups with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked but still tender.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the lime butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the lime juice and heavy cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking continuously, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.
Once the salmon rollups are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks if used.
Serve the salmon rollups drizzled with the lime butter sauce. Garnish with chopped chives for an added touch of freshness.
