Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound salmon fillet skinless
  • 2 tablespoon ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 4 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Lay the salmon fillet on the cutting board and slice it into thin strips.
  • In the mixing bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing, olive oil, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add the salmon strips to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the dressing mixture.
  • Roll out the puff pastry on the cutting board to smooth any creases.
  • Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the puff pastry.
  • Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the cream cheese layer.
  • Lay the marinated salmon strips evenly over the cream cheese and dill.
  • Starting from one end, carefully roll the puff pastry into a tight log.
  • Use the sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch pinwheels.
  • Arrange the pinwheels on the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  • Brush the tops of the pinwheels with any remaining dressing mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and let the pinwheels rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure the puff pastry is well-thawed but still cold to handle easily. You can add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top before baking for extra flavor. Serve the Salmon Ranch Pinwheels with a side salad or some lemon wedges for added freshness.
