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.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice each salmon fillet lengthwise to create a pocket for the stuffing, then brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Sauté the spinach in olive oil, seasoning with Italian seasoning, paprika, and cayenne until wilted (2-3 minutes).
  4. Mix sautéed spinach with roasted red peppers, feta, and Parmesan until well combined.
  5. Stuff the spinach and feta mixture into the salmon pockets, ensuring an even filling.
  6. Bake the stuffed salmon for 12-17 minutes until opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
