Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Fresh Salmon The star of the dish; always opt for fresh for the best texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Adds richness; feel free to switch it for melted butter.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Key seasoning; use generously to enhance flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Key seasoning; use generously to enhance flavors.
For the Stuffing
  • 3 cups Baby Spinach Nutrient-packed; fresh is ideal for the best taste and texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Dials up flavor; if you don’t have it, a mix of dry herbs works well.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Brings color and a hint of warmth; smoked paprika gives an extra depth of flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper A dash adds spice; adjust to taste or omit if you prefer it mild.
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese Creamy filling; swap for goat cheese for a unique twist.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Complements the feta with an umami kick; freshly grated is best.
  • 1 cup Roasted Red Peppers Sweet and tangy; you can use sun-dried tomatoes for a richer flavor.
