Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- Paprika to taste
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Olive oil & butter
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon filets dry and carefully cut a slit into the middle of each, stopping just before slicing all the way through.
- Season: Drizzle the salmon with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika for extra flavor.
- Make the filling: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, chopped spinach, parmesan, mozzarella, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Stuff the salmon: Evenly divide the filling and spoon it into each salmon filet, gently pressing it in.
- Cook: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and melt some butter. Once hot, place the stuffed salmon filets in the pan.
- Sear: Cook for about 6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is fully cooked and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from heat, let it rest for a minute, and enjoy your keto-friendly stuffed salmon!
Notes
- The amount of olive oil and butter needed depends on the fat content of your salmon. Farm-raised salmon typically requires less than wild-caught sockeye.
- For an even crispier finish, sear the salmon in the pan, then transfer it to a preheated oven at 375°F for an additional 5-7 minutes.
