Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each, skin-on)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)

  • 3 cups baby spinach, packed

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp paprika (regular or smoked)

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

  • 5.3 oz (150 g) feta cheese, crumbled

  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan

  • ¼ cup roasted red peppers, chopped

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Prep the Salmon: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon skin-side down and make a slit lengthwise down the center of each fillet, creating a pocket without cutting through. Brush with 1 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper.

  • Make the Filling: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add spinach, Italian seasoning, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Sauté until wilted. Remove from heat, then stir in feta, parmesan, and roasted red peppers. Mix well until it forms a cohesive filling.

  • Stuff & Bake: Spoon the spinach-feta mixture into each salmon pocket. Bake for 12–17 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.

  • Serve Hot: Garnish with a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of herbs for extra freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for best flavor and texture.

  • Substitute roasted red peppers with sun-dried tomatoes for a deeper taste.

  • Don’t overbake — salmon should be juicy and tender inside.
