Method
Preparation
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Spinach Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, add the fresh spinach and minced garlic. Sauté until the spinach is wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Mix Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sautéed spinach, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Prepare Salmon
Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each salmon fillet by slicing horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff Salmon
Stuff each salmon fillet with the prepared filling, pressing gently to ensure it is well packed inside.
Cooking
Bake Salmon
Place the stuffed salmon fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet. If using, place lemon slices on top of the fillets. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish and Serve
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh dill over the top before serving.
