Spinach-Stuffed Salmon Fillets
A gourmet dish that’s as impressive as it is delicious! Perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz each)
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Salmon:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice a pocket into the side of each salmon fillet, ensuring not to cut all the way through. Season the salmon with paprika, salt, and pepper.
Make the Filling:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and mix in cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until creamy and combined.
Stuff the Salmon:
Spoon the spinach mixture into the pocket of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to secure.
Cook the Salmon:
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and sear the stuffed salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs, alongside rice, potatoes, or a light salad.
This spinach-stuffed salmon is a restaurant-quality dish that’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner but elegant enough for entertaining!
