Spinach Stuffed Salmon Fillets Recipes

CREAMY SPINACH STUFFED SALMON

Steps:

• Place each salmon fillet on a flat surface. Season both sides with salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice. Cut a slit or pocket about 3/4 quarter of the way through, being careful not to cut all the way.
• Squeeze excess liquid out of the spinach discard liquid. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the spinach, cream cheese, parmesan cheese and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fill salmon 'pockets' with 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach dip, spreading evenly with the back of the spoon.

CREAMED SPINACH-STUFFED SALMON

Steps:

• Season salmon all over with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, mozzarella, spinach, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
• Using a paring knife, slice a slit in each salmon to create a pocket. Stuff pockets with cream cheese mixture.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add salmon skin side down and cook until seared, about 6 minutes, then flip salmon. Add butter and squeeze lemon juice all over. Cook until skin is crispy, another 6 minutes. Serve warm.

FETA-SPINACH STUFFED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a large baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine cream cheese, feta cheese, spinach, and scallions in a small mixing bowl. Mash ingredients until well blended.
• Cut salmon fillet into 2 equal pieces. Brush the top of one piece with olive oil and place oiled side down in the prepared baking dish. Spread filling evenly over top; it will be about 3/4 inch thick. Place the second piece of salmon on the filling and brush the top with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes evenly with a fork and filling is hot, 20 to 30 minutes. The time will depend on the size and weight of salmon used; check progress at 20 minutes to determine if additional baking time is needed.
• Remove from the oven and slice into 2 pieces to serve.
