Bake tender salmon fillets stuffed with a creamy mixture of spinach and feta cheese. This recipe is quick to prepare and delivers an elegant, restaurant-style main dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry. Use a sharp knife to cut a deep pocket into the thickest side of each fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and squeeze out any excess liquid.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the wilted spinach, softened cream cheese, feta cheese, minced garlic, and nutmeg. Mix until the stuffing is uniform.
  5. Season the inside and outside of the salmon fillets lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Carefully spoon the spinach and feta mixture into the pockets of the salmon fillets. Press the opening closed gently.
  7. Place the stuffed salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops lightly with any remaining olive oil and season again with salt and pepper.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a low-carb dinner, serve this salmon with roasted asparagus or steamed green beans.
  • If you prefer a crispier top, briefly broil the salmon for the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • You can substitute Parmesan cheese for feta if you prefer a milder flavor.
