Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets
  • Fresh spinach
  • Feta cheese, crumbled
  • Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • Garlic, minced
  • Cream cheese, softened
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • Dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  3. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each salmon fillet without slicing all the way through.
  4. Sauté the spinach in a skillet over medium heat until wilted.
  5. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Remove from heat and combine the spinach mixture with feta cheese, cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and basil.
  7. Season the filling with salt and black pepper.
  8. Stuff each salmon fillet generously with the filling.
  9. Place the stuffed salmon in the prepared baking dish.
  10. Brush with olive oil and drizzle with lemon juice.
  11. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  12. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Add Kalamata olives for extra Mediterranean flavor.
  • Substitute goat cheese for feta if desired.
  • Artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers make excellent additions to the filling.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cream cheese and omit feta.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze tightly wrapped portions for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently to prevent the salmon from drying out.
  • Serve with roasted vegetables, quinoa, rice pilaf, or a Greek salad.
