Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, skinless
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Stuff the Salmon: Using a sharp knife, cut a slit in the side of each salmon fillet to create a pocket. Stuff each pocket with the spinach mixture, using toothpicks to secure if necessary.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place the salmon in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty finish.
