1. Prepare the Salmon:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each salmon fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season the fillets with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Make the Creamy Spinach Filling:
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and sour cream. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Stuff the Salmon:
Carefully spoon the creamy spinach filling into the pocket of each salmon fillet, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
4. Sear the Salmon:
Heat olive oil or butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the stuffed salmon fillets in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Bake the Salmon:
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
