Okay, let me tell you about this amazing salmon dish I made the other day. It’s called stuffed salmon with cream cheese and spinach, and it was seriously delicious. You won’t believe how simple it was to put together. Here’s how it went down in my kitchen.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed a couple of salmon fillets from the fridge. I made sure they were nice and thick. Then, I mixed up some softened cream cheese with a handful of chopped fresh spinach. I seasoned this mix with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder – nothing too fancy.
Prepping the Salmon
Next, I carefully sliced a pocket into the side of each salmon fillet. You gotta be careful not to cut all the way through, just enough to create a nice little space for the stuffing. Once that was done, I generously stuffed the cream cheese and spinach mixture into each fillet. I made sure to pack it in there good so it wouldn’t all spill out during cooking.
Cooking It Up
I preheated my oven to around 375°F (190°C). While that was heating up, I placed the stuffed salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I drizzled a little olive oil over the top and sprinkled on some extra salt and pepper for good measure.
- Pop the salmon into the oven
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes
You’ll know it’s done when the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cream cheese should be all melty and gooey inside.
The Final Touch
Once it was out of the oven, I let it rest for a couple of minutes. I served it up with a side of roasted asparagus and some lemon wedges. Let me tell you, the combination of the tender salmon, creamy filling, and the slight tang from the lemon was just heavenly.
And that’s it! Seriously, this dish is a winner. It looks and tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen, but it’s actually super quick and easy. I’m definitely adding this stuffed salmon with cream cheese and spinach to my regular dinner rotation. You should try it too; you won’t regret it!
