Instructions
Creating Stuffed Salmon With Spinach & Feta is simple and enjoyable if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, minced garlic, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
3. Prepare the Salmon: Place each salmon fillet skin-side down on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to create a pocket in each fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff the Salmon: Generously fill each salmon pocket with the spinach and feta mixture. Use toothpicks if necessary to secure the opening.
5. Season the Salmon: Lightly season the outside of each stuffed fillet with additional salt and pepper.
6. Bake: Place the stuffed salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired.
This process allows you to create a flavorful and visually striking dish that is sure to impress.
