Ingredients:

• 4 skinless, boneless salmon fillets (6 oz each)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 4 cups fresh spinach

• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

• ¼ cup roasted red peppers, chopped

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  
  

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Spinach Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, stir in crumbled feta cheese and chopped roasted red peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit along the side of each fillet to create a pocket for the stuffing.

4. Stuff the Salmon: Evenly divide the spinach and feta mixture among the salmon fillets, stuffing each pocket generously.

5. Bake the Salmon: Place the stuffed salmon fillets in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and healthy stuffed salmon!
