Ingredients

🐟 4 salmon fillets
🧀 1 stick cream cheese (for super creamy) or 1/2 stick (for less creamy)
🧀 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (or more to taste)
🌿 1 1/2 cups spinach
🧄 1 tablespoon minced garlic
🍋 Juice of 1/2 lemon
🌶️ Cajun Creole seasoning (to taste, optional)
🧂 Sea salt (to taste)
🧂 Pepper (to taste)


Instructions

1- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:

  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese to the cream cheese and mix well to combine. Adjust the cheese quantity to your preference for a cheesier taste.
  • Incorporate the minced garlic, lemon juice, Cajun Creole seasoning, sea salt, and pepper into the cheese mixture. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.

2- Cook the Spinach:

  • In a pan over medium-high heat, add a little water and steam the spinach until wilted.
  • Once wilted, transfer the spinach to an ice bath to cool quickly.
  • Squeeze out all the excess moisture from the spinach and then roughly chop it.
  • Mix the chopped spinach into the cream cheese mixture.

3- Prepare the Salmon:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Taking each salmon fillet, make a cut in the side to create a pocket for stuffing.
  • Fill each pocket generously with the creamy spinach mixture.

4- Bake the Salmon:

  • Place the stuffed salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

5- Serve:

  • Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy hot with your choice of sides.
