Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Step 5
Take the salmon fillets and carefully cut a pocket into the side of each fillet without cutting all the way through.
Step 6
Stuff each salmon fillet with an equal amount of the spinach mixture, pressing gently to seal the pocket.
Step 7
Place the stuffed salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with paprika for added color and flavor.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Spinach Stuffed Salmon!
