Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Spinach-Cheese Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, combine:

• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• A pinch of salt and pepper

Mix the ingredients until they form a creamy, well-blended filling. Set aside.

Step 3: Prep the Salmon Fillets

Take the 4 skinless salmon fillets and, using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each fillet. Be sure not to slice all the way through. This pocket will hold the delicious spinach-cheese mixture.

Step 4: Stuff the Salmon

Spoon the spinach mixture into the pockets of each salmon fillet, evenly distributing the filling. Press lightly to secure the filling inside the salmon.

Step 5: Bake the Salmon

Place the stuffed salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle each fillet with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.
Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6: Prepare the Lemon Cream Sauce

While the salmon bakes, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 garlic clove, minced, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Next, stir in:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• A pinch of salt and pepper

Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens into a smooth, creamy sauce.

Step 7: Serve and Garnish

Once the salmon is ready, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the warm lemon cream sauce generously over each fillet. For a finishing touch, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
