These stuffed salmon filets are sophisticated and easy! Each bite of flaky golden salmon is filled with a creamy feta spinach center. Serve these up with roasted potatoes for dinner at home.
Ingredients
- 5 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 5 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Athenos traditional feta cheese crumbles
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 4 center cut salmon filets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Method
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- In a bowl mix together spinach, cream cheese, feta cheese crumbles, cracked black pepper, a pinch of kosher salt and garlic powder until smooth and combined.
- Cut a small slit to the center of the salmon sides to create a pocket without cutting all the way through. Stuff 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture into each salmon pocket. Brush tops and sides of salmon with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes apart easily.
