Full Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (skin-on)

• 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped

• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Olive oil, for cooking

Directions:

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

2. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Prepare the Salmon: Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in each salmon fillet by slicing horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.

4. Stuff the Salmon: Gently fill each salmon pocket with the spinach mixture, packing it in firmly.

5. Cook the Salmon: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Place the stuffed salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4 minutes until the skin is crispy.

6. Bake: Flip the fillets over and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
