Prepare a flavorful salmon dinner entirely on one pan featuring a creamy spinach and feta filling. This recipe minimizes cleanup for a simple weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and season with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, feta cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.
  4. Using a small knife, carefully cut a pocket or slit lengthwise into the thickest part of each salmon fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom.
  5. Spoon the spinach and feta mixture evenly into the pockets of the four salmon fillets.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
  7. Serve immediately directly from the pan.

Notes

  • If you prefer not to stuff the salmon, you can spread the creamy mixture over the top of the fillets before baking.
  • For extra color, sprinkle a little paprika over the top of the filling before putting the pan in the oven.
  • Use fresh spinach; frozen spinach will add too much moisture to the filling.
