Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skinless)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Spinach Filling:
Cook the spinach in a skillet over medium heat until wilted. Drain off any excess liquid.
In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.

2️⃣ Prepare the Salmon:
Create a pocket in each salmon fillet by slicing horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff the pockets with the spinach and cheese mixture.

3️⃣ Season the Salmon:
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Rub the seasoning mixture over the tops of the salmon fillets.

4️⃣ Cook the Salmon:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tops are blackened and crispy.
Transfer the salmon to a preheated oven (350°F or 175°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.

5️⃣ Serve:
Serve the blackened salmon stuffed with spinach and Parmesan cheese with lemon wedges. Enjoy this delicious and healthy meal!

Notes

  • For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mixture.
  • You can also grill the salmon instead of pan-searing it for a different texture.
  • Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice, for a complete meal.
