Ingredients
Method
- Begin by cutting a pocket into each salmon fillet, ensuring not to cut all the way through. Drizzle the fillets with a small amount of olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. Set the fillets aside in the fridge to marinate for 10 minutes.
- While the salmon is marinating, prepare the filling by combining the spinach, ricotta cheese, and crushed garlic in a bowl. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika, then stir until everything is well incorporated.
- After marinating, stuff each salmon fillet with the ricotta-spinach filling, ensuring the pocket is filled evenly.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the stuffed salmon fillets into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fillets are golden and crispy on the outside.
- Serve the salmon with a wedge of lemon and your choice of vegetables or quinoa for a complete meal.
Notes
Note: If you prefer, softened cream cheese can be substituted for the ricotta in this recipe.
