Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F. Wash and cut salmon into 4 serving pieces. Pat dry.

Step 2

Melt ¼ cup butter (if using butter)

Step 3

Separate 4 sheets of filo and put the rest back in the freezer.

Step 4

Cut 4 sheets in half across the short width so you have 8 pieces in total. (Do not cut lengthwise, you do not want narrow strips).

Step 5

Separate 2 sheets on top of another.

Step 6

Cover the remaining pieces with a clean T-towel and give the top of the towel a little squirt of water with a mister or a BBQ spray bottle so they don’t dry out.

Step 7

Lay piece of salmon in the center of filo.

Step 8

Sprinkle each piece with spice. Brush the filo around the salmon with butter. (Note: It is very important to brush oil or butter on every layer of filo).

Step 9

Fold opposite ends of filo over the salmon and then fold over the sides.

Step 10

Brush the remaining piece of filo and fold in the same fashion.

Step 11

Place on a sprayed cookie sheet.

Step 12

Brush the top of each bundle and sprinkle with dried dill and rosemary.

Step 13

Place filo bundles on sprayed cookie sheet.

Step 14

Bake in oven for 20 minutes.

Step 15

Rinse spinach and spin in salad spinner.

Step 16

In a stovetop pot combine in the following order: Cornstarch, ginger powder, and then gradually whisk in chicken broth. Set heat to medium. Add honey garlic sauce, sweet chili sauce and sesame oil.
