Ingredients

4 skinless salmon filets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Filling

3 tablespoons water
4 cups baby spinach
4 ounces cream cheese softened
¼ cup parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
Juice from 1 lemon additional lemons for serving

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 475 degrees fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Dry your filets with a paper towel and rub them with the olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the filets.
Cut a slit in the side of each filet, be careful not to go all the way through the filets, just enough to create a pocket
In a medium pan over medium high heat, saute your spinach with the water until your spinach is wilted. Remove the spinach from heat and drain any excess water off if needed.
In a medium bowl add your cooked spinach, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, lemon pepper, and italian seasoning. Mix your filling until it is well combined.
Stuff each prepared salmon filet and place them on the parchment lined baking sheet. Just before baking, pour the lemon juice over each stuffed filet.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes. Salmon should flake apart easily with a fork.
Serve fresh with sliced lemon.
