Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon skin removed
  • 3 oz fresh spinach
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 6 sheets phyllo dough
  • 4 oz butter melted
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sauté the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the shallot for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
  • Mix the filling: To the spinach mixture, add cream cheese, feta, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  • Prepare the phyllo: Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface. Lightly brush with melted butter. Top with another sheet and repeat until you have 3 layers. Repeat this process for the second salmon fillet.
  • Assemble: Place a salmon fillet in the center of the phyllo stack. Top with half the spinach-feta mixture. Fold in all sides over the salmon until you have a parcel. Brush the tops and the sides of the parcel with butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat with the second fillet.
  • Bake: Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
