Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, cooked spinach, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
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.
Stuff each salmon fillet with the creamy spinach mixture, dividing it evenly among the fillets.
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.
Drizzle the salmon with lemon juice for added flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Spinach Stuffed Salmon!
