Ingredients:
For the Stuffing:
1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Salmon:
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skinless
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
Steps:
Prepare the Stuffing:
In a bowl, mix shrimp, spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Prepare the Salmon:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each salmon fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Season the fillets with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Stuff the Salmon:
Fill each salmon pocket with the shrimp and spinach mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if necessary.
Cook the Salmon:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed salmon fillets for 2–3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
Transfer the fillets to a baking dish and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
Serve:
Remove toothpicks if used and serve hot. Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
