Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a large baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, feta cheese, drained spinach, and sliced scallions. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly blended and form a cohesive filling. (5 minutes)

03

Step

5 mins

Cut the salmon fillet into two equal pieces. Brush the top of one piece generously with olive oil. Place the oiled side down into the prepared baking dish. Evenly spread the cream cheese filling over the top of the salmon piece in the dish. Place the remaining piece of salmon on top of the filling, and brush its top with olive oil. (10 minutes)

04

Step

25 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Begin checking for doneness after 20 minutes, as cooking time can vary depending on the size and thickness of the salmon fillet. (20-30 minutes)

05

Step

2 mins

Once the salmon is cooked through, carefully remove it from the oven. Let it rest for a minute or two before slicing each fillet into two servings. Serve hot, and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a squeeze of lemon juice to the feta-spinach filling.
To prevent the salmon from drying out, you can tent the baking dish with foil during the first half of the baking time.
Serve this stuffed salmon with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
