Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté 2 cups of fresh spinach for about 3 minutes until wilted. Allow it to cool slightly, then mix in cream cheese and Parmesan.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season both sides generously with blackening seasoning.
  4. Cut a pocket in each salmon fillet and fill it with the creamy spinach mixture.
  5. Place the stuffed salmon fillets on the baking sheet, drizzle with lemon juice, and bake for 15-20 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving hot, garnished with lemon slices or fresh herbs.
