Ingredients

Scale

Salmon:

  • 4 skinless salmon fillets

Spinach-Feta Mixture:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (optional for creamier filling)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Sauté Spinach: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and stir in feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and cream cheese if using.
  3. Prepare Salmon: Slice a deep pocket into each salmon fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each pocket with the spinach-feta mixture and place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Season and Bake: Drizzle with lemon juice, season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve: Serve hot with your favorite side—roasted veggies or a light salad.
