By SweetGirl

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 - 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 T. grated parmesan cheese
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 T. lemon juice
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 1/4 pounds fresh salmon, cut into 6 fillet

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, spinach, feta, Parmesan and garlic until well blended. Fold in onion, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, lemon juice and bread crumbs. Set aside.

Carefully cut a 3-inch horizontal slit along the side of each salmon fillet, moving the knife back and forth to form a pocket. Spoon the spinach mixture into the pockets. Place on a baking pan.

Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown or a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees F.
