Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, cooked spinach, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 5
Take each salmon fillet and carefully slice a pocket along the side of the fillet without cutting through. Ensure it’s large enough to hold the filling.
Step 6
Stuff each salmon fillet with the creamy spinach mixture, dividing it evenly among the fillets.
Step 7
Place the stuffed salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets, then sprinkle with paprika.
Step 8
Drizzle the salmon with lemon juice for added flavor.
Step 9
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Spinach Stuffed Salmon!
