Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen salmon! Just make sure to properly thaw it first before preparing the pinwheels. Thawing overnight in the fridge is the best method to retain its moisture.

What can I serve with the salmon pinwheels?

These pinwheels are quite versatile! You can serve them with a light salad, roasted vegetables, or even on a bed of rice or quinoa for a well-rounded meal.

How do I know when the salmon is cooked through?

Salmon is considered fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Alternatively, you can check for flakiness; the flesh should easily flake apart with a fork.

Can I prepare the pinwheels ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the pinwheels in advance and refrigerate them until you’re ready to cook. Just sear and bake when you’re set to serve.

What other fillings can I use?

Feel free to get creative with fillings! You can substitute feta with goat cheese or cream cheese, and add herbs or even sun-dried tomatoes for added flavor.
