Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place salmon pieces onto lined baking sheet, skin-side down.
- Using a sharp knife, slice down the middle of each piece of salmon, lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through.
- Brush salmon with 1 Tbsp of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Making the filling
- Heat remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Once hot, add spinach, Italian seasoning, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Sauté for a couple of minutes until wilted.
- Turn off the heat, then add in chopped roasted red peppers, feta cheese, and parmesan. Stir to combine well, pressing down on the feta to soften it.
Baking
- Spoon the spinach-feta mixture into the cut part of the salmon, being careful not to overstuff.
- Place salmon in the oven and bake for about 12-17 minutes depending on desired doneness.
- Remove from oven and serve hot.
Notes
For easy prep, use pre-washed baby spinach and keep jarred roasted red peppers on hand. This recipe can be paired well with roasted baby potatoes or steamed green beans.
