How to Make Spinach Stuffed Salmon

Besides using an air fryer, baking salmon is my favorite way to prepare it. The even heat means that your salmon will be cooked through perfectly. Sometimes low and slow is the way to go! Roasting your salmon gives it a delicious, golden brown outer layer while making the cheesy filling hot and bubbly. I know you’re going to be as obsessed with this salmon as I am.

Use High-Quality Salmon: Look for fresh, wild-caught salmon that’s free from any blemishes or discoloration. Season Your Salmon: Don’t be shy with the seasoning! Add a generous amount of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other herbs and spices that you enjoy. Old bay seasoning or Cajun seasoning are great options as well! This will enhance the natural flavor of the salmon and make it even more delicious. Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife is essential when it comes to cutting and stuffing the salmon. This will ensure that you get clean and precise cuts, which will help the filling stay in place. More Filling Options: Cream cheese and spinach are a classic combo, but you can also try other ingredients like feta cheese, roasted garlic, or even crab meat to double down on seafood-y goodness.

In the Refrigerator: Once the fish has cooled, transfer it to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. It will stay good for about 3 days. In the Freezer: Transfer stuffed salmon to a freezer bag and store for up to 1 month. Don’t worry about thawing it, it can be cooked straight from the freezer! Reheating: When you’re ready to eat, simply reheat the stuffed salmon in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through.
