She has seven cookbooks and has sold over 1.5 million copies! Her Too Hot in The Kitchen cookbook (affiliate link below) features 200 simple, easy recipes plus fun women’s quotes to inspire eating healthy!  You’ll love her trim and terrific twist on everyday recipes.

I just love these easy feta and spinach stuffed salmon fillets because they only require 5 ingredients and they taste amazing!

Stuffed Salmon with Spinach Feta Stuffing from Holly Clegg’s Too Hot in the Kitchen Cookbook

Freezer friendly, Gluten free

This magnificent dish is gourmet-on-the-go and takes minutes to prepare.

Makes 4 servings

Simple Ingredients

  • 2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped baby spinach (fresh spinach, fine chop)
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1/3 cup chopped red onion

How To Make Stuffed Salmon

1. Preheat oven 350°F. Coat baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (or thin layer of olive oil).

2. In bowl, combine cream cheese and feta with fork, mixing until blended. Add onion and spinach, combining well.

3. On a cutting board, split each piece of salmon in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through (make pocket). Divide creamy spinach mixture in the center of the salmon spreading to cover. Sprinkle the top of the fillet with salt and pepper.

4. Place top salmon piece back over filling and on prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes in preheated oven or until flaky and done.

Optional: Sprinkle cooked salmon with some fresh lemon juice before you serve. I hope you enjoy this salmon feta spinach flavor combination as much as I do! This salmon dish is so good.

I recently had the pleasure of trying some amazing wild caught salmon from Sitka Salmon Shares. Wild caught salmon has so much more delicious flavor. You may want to try them too because they deliver premium, sustainable, wild Alaskan seafood from fisherman directly to your doorstep. Pretty cool!

This healthy recipe is full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, this creamy spinach stuffed salmon is a memorable fancy dinner dish with so much flavor. Don’t you just love have fast and easy seafood is to cook? Are you a fan of stuffed salmon recipes? Are you looking forward to trying this recipe for spinach stuffed salmon fillets? It is such a great flavor combination and perfect for family dinners.
