Spinach Feta Stuffed Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon Old Bay (or your favorite seafood seasoning)
• salt and pepper (to taste (optional, use if your seasoning is not salted / not spicy enough))
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
• 4 ounces baby spinach ((3 cups packed) exact amount doesn't matter)
• 3-4 ounces feta (block or crumbled)
• 1-2 scallions (diced)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 375F, or see air fryer instructions below. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. 3

   In a large skillet, sauté the baby spinach and diced scallion in ½ tablespoon olive oil for 1-2 minutes, or just until the spinach starts to wilt. Don't cook the spinach more once it's wilted.

4. 4

   In a medium bowl, combine the wilted spinach, feta, and garlic powder. Mash it together with a fork until it forms a paste.

5. 5

   Place the salmon fillets onto the parchment paper (or your air fryer tray). Brush them with the remaining olive oil, season with seafood seasoning, and cut a slit lengthwise, taking care not to cut all the way through the bottom.

6. 6

   Place a quarter of the spinach feta mixture into the slit of each salmon fillet.

7. 7

   Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked (USDA recommends a temperature of 145F). Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
