Blackened Salmon Stuffed with Spinach and Parmesan Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Combine the cooled spinach with Parmesan cheese in a mixing bowl.
- Make a horizontal slit in each salmon fillet to create a pocket. Stuff each fillet with the spinach-Parmesan mixture.
- In a small bowl, mix paprika, thyme, oregano, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Coat each salmon fillet with the seasoning.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Sear each fillet, skin-side down, for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the salmon to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
