Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, spinach, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until creamy.
Cut a pocket into each salmon fillet to hold the stuffing.
Stuff each salmon pocket with the spinach mixture generously.
Season the stuffed fillets with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and the tops are golden.
Let rest for a minute, garnish with dill or parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
