Creamy Spinach Stuffed Salmon in Garlic Butter: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Spinach Stuffed Salmon in Garlic Butter is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Cook the Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the sautéed spinach and garlic with cream cheese, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
5. Prep the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into each fillet for stuffing.
6. Stuff the Salmon: Generously fill each salmon pocket with the creamy spinach mixture.
7. Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, drizzle the garlic butter over the stuffed salmon.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
9. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
