Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped roasted red peppers, Italian seasoning, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Lay the salmon fillets on a cutting board. Cut a pocket into each fillet, careful not to slice all the way through.
- Stuff each salmon fillet with the spinach and feta mixture, pressing down lightly to secure the filling.
Baking
- In a baking dish, pour the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and place the stuffed salmon in the dish. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top and season with additional salt and pepper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
Serve with quinoa or brown rice, and a light green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette. For variations, consider swapping feta for cream cheese, or adding nuts for extra crunch.
