Stuffed Salmon
It is delicious! I found the recipe online and tried it (slightly modified), everyone loved it and I felt like a real chef!!
- 4 6 oz Salmon Fillets (skin on or off)
- 1/2 cup reduced fat Cream Cheese
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan Cheese
- 5 oz Spinach
- 1 clove Garlic ((minced))
- Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 3/4 tsp Kosher Salt
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, line a large baking sheet with Parchment Paper.
-
Heat 2 teaspoons of EVOO in a skillet on med-high heat.
-
Add in spinach and stir until it begins to wilt.
-
Stir in the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and red pepper flakes, and let cook for 30 seconds.
-
Remove skillet from heat, add in cream cheese and parmesan cheese – keep stirring until completely incorporated into the spinach and the mixture is creamy.
-
Make a pocket in each salmon fillet, by making a small cut in the center – don't cut all way through.
-
Place the fillets on the baking sheet and stuff the spinach-cheese mixture inside each fillet. Season each fillet with EVOO, salt, and pepper.
-
Bake at 425 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
