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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with cream cheese. Stir well to create a creamy filling.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Drizzle the salmon rollups with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked but still tender.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Serve the salmon rollups drizzled with the lime butter sauce. Garnish with chopped chives for an added touch of freshness.
