Equipment

  • Oven
  • skillet
  • baking tray
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets salmon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 3 scallions chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 4 oz baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • ¾ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • paprika

Instructions
 

  • Remove your salmon 30 minutes prior to baking so that it comes to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 420°F. Line a medium baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Rinse and pat dry your salmon filets. Take a small sharp knife and cut a slit into the thick part of the side of each fillet.
  • In a deep skillet, heat 1 tbs olive oil on medium high and cook your scallions for a minute or two.
  • Stir in the garlic for 15 seconds. Add the spinach, dill, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté until the spinach is mostly wilted but not entirely.
  • Remove mixture from your pan promptly and transfer to a bowl. Wait 5 minutes and then mix in your crumbled feta.
  • Stuff the salmon with the mixture and carefully place the fillets back up right. Brush the tops and sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle top and sides of fish with the paprika. Bake for about 17 minutes.
