Delicious Spinach Stuffed Salmon for Quick Dinners

Delicious Easy Spinach Stuffed Salmon Recipe for Quick Weeknight Dinners made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets 6 oz each
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the wilted spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and dill. Mix until well blended.
  • Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each fillet by slicing lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Stuff each salmon fillet with the spinach mixture, pressing it down gently to ensure it stays in place.
  • Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each stuffed salmon fillet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
