Steps:
- Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry on paper towels.
- Put parsley, chives, oregano and thyme on a cutting surface and chop together until very fine and well combined. Sprinkle in a shallow pan and stir in the 1/2 cup of olive oil.
- Coat the salmon fillets on both sides with the marinade and set aside about 30 minutes at room temperature, or for 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- To make the filling, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saute pan. Add the onion and leek and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the spinach and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Cook 4 minutes. Stir in dill, salt and pepper. Turn the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate until cool. Stir in the egg, cheeses and bread crumbs.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle lemon juice over the salmon.
- Put two sheets of phyllo, one on top of the other, on a work surface, keeping the unused pastry covered with a damp towel. Cut them in half lengthwise. Cut across into 4 pieces and brush with butter. (These pieces will be used as patches to reinforce phyllo packets).
- Put one sheet of phyllo on a work surface. Brush with butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo. Brush with butter. Put one of the patches on top of the phyllo, about 2 inches from the edge. Put one piece of salmon over the patch. Cover with 1/4 cup of the filling. Fold bottom of phyllo over salmon. Brush the folded portion with butter. Fold in the sides of the phyllo and brush with butter. Roll up the salmon in the phyllo to make a neat packet. Brush the top with butter and seal the end of the roll onto the packet with butter.
- Repeat Step 4 with remaining ingredients to make 8 packets, putting packets on two ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

QUICK & EASY SPINACH AND FETA PHYLLO PIE
I got this recipe in my email yesterday and made it immediately. We had it for dinner, but it would be wonderful for brunch. Although the original recipe did not call for reduced fat dairy products, using them makes this a nice and healthy dish. I used nonfat cottage cheese and full fat feta. The recipe is from Crisco. Cook time does not include standing time - the recipe suggests allowing it to stand 15 minutes before cutting, but mine was plenty firm after just five.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Cut the filets into log shaped pieces, about 2 inches wide by 5 inches long, keeping the filet portions separate. Take 2 sheets of phyllo dough, placing one on top of the other, and brush lightly with melted butter, covering the one side completely.
- Place a portion of salmon (6 ounces), on the edge, nearest you, of the phyllo dough. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Coat the portion of salmon with 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
- Fold the phyllo dough, nearest you, over the salmon and make one complete wrap. Take the sides of the dough and fold them towards the center, and continue rolling up the dough. Brush all sides with butter, covering completely and place on a cookie sheet. Repeat steps for remaining portions of salmon.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until phyllo dough is golden brown.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a large baking dish with cooking spray.
- Combine cream cheese, feta cheese, spinach, and scallions in a small mixing bowl. Mash ingredients until well blended.
- Cut salmon fillet into 2 equal pieces. Brush the top of one piece with olive oil and place oiled side down in the prepared baking dish. Spread filling evenly over top; it will be about 3/4 inch thick. Place the second piece of salmon on the filling and brush the top with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes evenly with a fork and filling is hot, 20 to 30 minutes. The time will depend on the size and weight of salmon used; check progress at 20 minutes to determine if additional baking time is needed.
- Remove from the oven and slice into 2 pieces to serve.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh spinach and thaw the frozen spinach thoroughly before using.
- If you don't have any feta cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of soft cheese, such as goat cheese or cream cheese.
- To make the dish even more flavorful, add a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, or mint, to the spinach mixture.
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought phyllo dough. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before using.
- To prevent the phyllo dough from drying out, brush it with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
- Serve the salmon immediately after baking, while it's still hot and flaky.
