Blackened Salmon Stuffed with Spinach & Parmesan

Directions 👨‍🍳🔥

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 🔥

2. In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture onto the salmon fillets. 🧂

3. For the filling, combine the sautéed spinach, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and minced garlic in a bowl. Mix well. 🥣

4. Using a sharp knife, slice each salmon fillet horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut through. Stuff the pocket with the spinach and cheese mixture. 🔪

5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flaky. 🍳🔥

6. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in lemon juice to create a simple sauce. 🧈🍋

7. Drizzle the butter sauce over the stuffed salmon and serve warm. 🍽️
