🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 salmon fillets, skinless, about 6 oz each
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Warm the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until wilted.
3. Remove from heat and blend in the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth.
4. Carefully slice each salmon fillet horizontally to form a pocket, ensuring not to cut through completely.
5. Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture into each salmon pocket.
6. Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the salmon fillets.
7. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side until the surface is nicely blackened.
8. Transfer the salmon to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is thoroughly cooked.
9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh lemon wedges.
