🐟 Cream Cheese & Spinach–Stuffed Salmon

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 5 salmon filets
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 4 oz fresh spinach, finely chopped
• ½ cup grated Parmesan
• 3 tsp fresh minced garlic (or garlic paste)
• Salt, pepper & garlic powder
• Seafood Spectacular Seasoning (or your favorite spice blend)
• Olive oil, butter
• Lemon slices
• Optional: smoked paprika & a touch of brown sugar for depth

Instructions

1. Prep the salmon

• Season the tops and bottoms of the filets with Seafood Spectacular (or sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika and a pinch of brown sugar).
• Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into each filet (about ¾ of the way through), careful not to slice completely.

2. Make the filling

• In a bowl, combine cream cheese, spinach, Parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, and garlic paste.

3. Stuff the filets

• Spoon the mixture into each salmon pocket and gently smooth to fill.

4. Sear the salmon

• Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
• Place filets skin‑side down and sear for about 6 minutes.
• Tuck lemon slices into the pan around them.

5. Turn and baste

• Flip the filets and cook ~6 more minutes.
• Add a generous knob of butter and spoon the bubbling juices over the fish to baste.

6. Finish in the oven

• Preheat to 350 °F (175 °C).
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an extra 5–10 minutes (depending on filet size)—until the salmon is just cooked through.

7. Serve

• Plate the fish, serve with pan juices and lemon. Enjoy every bite!
