Ingredients
  

4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Lemon wedges, for serving

Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling:

    - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, green onions, minced garlic, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended, resulting in a creamy and flavorful filling.

      Prepare the Salmon Fillets:

        - Place the salmon fillets on a cutting board with the skin side facing down. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each fillet horizontally, creating a pocket. Be cautious not to cut all the way through the fillets; you want to create a nice space to hold the filling.

          Stuff the Salmon:

            - Using a spoon, generously fill each pocket of the salmon fillets with the creamy spinach filling, pressing it down gently to ensure the filling is securely packed inside.

              Heat the Skillet:

                - In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the stuffed salmon fillets seam side down into the skillet.

                  Sear the Salmon:

                    - Cook the stuffed salmon for about 5 minutes without moving them to allow a golden crust to form. Afterward, gently flip the fillets and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork.

                      Serving:

                        - Carefully transfer the cooked stuffed salmon to a serving plate. Accompany with fresh lemon wedges and a light sprinkle of chopped parsley for an elegant touch.

                          Enjoy:

                            - This delicious dish pairs wonderfully with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad, for a well-balanced and nutritious meal.
