Blackened Salmon Stuffed with Spinach & Parmesan: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon blackening seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh lemon wedges, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Blackened Salmon Stuffed with Spinach & Parmesan:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
3. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each fillet by slicing it horizontally, but not all the way through.
4. Stuff the Fillets: Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture into each salmon pocket. Be generous, but ensure the mixture is secure inside.
5. Season the Salmon: Rub the blackening seasoning onto the top and sides of each stuffed salmon fillet.
6. Heat the Oil: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
7. Sear the Salmon: Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
8. Flip the Salmon: Carefully flip the fillets and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
9. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
10. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Serve with fresh lemon wedges, if desired.
