Ingredients
:
For the salmon:
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the spinach filling:
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
:
Prepare the salmon:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Using a sharp knife, cut a slit in the side of each fillet to create a pocket for stuffing. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Make the spinach filling:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the spinach. Cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until creamy and well-blended.
Stuff the salmon:
Spoon the spinach filling into each salmon fillet pocket, dividing it evenly among the fillets.
Cook the salmon:
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve:
Plate the stuffed salmon and drizzle with any pan juices. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Garnish with parsley for added color.
Pro Tips:
Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the salmon before serving for a burst of freshness.
Substitute cream cheese with ricotta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
This Creamy Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Salmon is a restaurant-worthy dish that you can easily make at home. Healthy, delicious, and satisfying—this recipe is a must-try!
