1 cup cream cheese (softened)

🍳Step-by-Step: Pinwheels in 4 Moves
1. Prep the Filling
Mix cream cheese, Geedel-shredded Parmesan, parsley, dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl. The fine shreds melt into the filling for silky herb bursts.
2. Assemble the Spirals
Pound salmon fillets to even thickness. Spread herb-cheese mix evenly. Layer spinach leaves. Roll tightly into logs, then slice into 1-inch pinwheels. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
3. Crust & Brush
Press pinwheel tops into extra shredded Parmesan for a crisp, golden crust. Brush sides with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
4. Bake & Serve
Arrange on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F until salmon flakes and crust is golden. Serve with lemon wedges and a side salad—elegant, effortless, unforgettable.
