    •    Cook time: 20 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

    •    Kosher salt
    •    2 tbsps butter
    •    Juice of 1/2 lemon
    •    1/4 tsp garlic powder
    •    4 x 6 oz salmon fillets
    •    Pinch of red pepper flakes
    •    2 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
    •    Freshly ground black pepper
    •    1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
    •    1/2 cup frozen spinach, defrosted
    •    1/2 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened

Method

1. Season salmon all over with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, mozzarella, spinach, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
2. Using a paring knife, slice a slit in each salmon to create a pocket. Stuff pockets with cream cheese mixture.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add salmon skin side down and cook until seared, about 6 minutes, then flip salmon. Add butter and squeeze lemon juice all over. Cook until skin is crispy, another 6 minutes. Serve warm.
