Lemon wedges
# Steps:
01 -
Serve those hot stuffed salmon pieces with a few lemon wedges squeezed over. Enjoy right away.
02 -
Pop the browned salmon into your preheated oven at 175°C. Let it go for about 10–12 minutes until the fish flakes with a fork and is cooked through.
03 -
Heat up olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear each salmon side for 2–3 minutes. You're looking for a crisp, dark golden outside.
04 -
Grab a tiny bowl and toss paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and some salt together. Sprinkle and gently rub the blend all over those stuffed salmon pieces.
05 -
Stuff your salmon pockets with loads of that spinach and Parmesan mix.
06 -
Take a sharp knife and make a lengthwise cut into each fillet, but don’t slice all the way through—you just want a pocket for the filling.
07 -
In a skillet, wilt the spinach for about 2–3 minutes, then drain off any extra liquid. Mix the spinach with cream cheese, Parmesan, that chopped garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until it’s all smooth and blended.
# Notes:
01 -
Want more kick? Sprinkle a little cayenne into your spice mix.
02 -
You could also cook the salmon on your grill instead.

Tastes awesome with roasted veggies, some rice, or a crisp salad.
