Stuffed Salmon Fillets
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided, or as needed
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion, or more to taste
  • 1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs
  • 1 clove garlic, minced, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) salmon fillet
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
Instructions
1
First, warm 1 teaspoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in the onion and cook until it becomes soft and pale, approximately 5 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat source and transfer the onions to a separate container.
2
Next, combine 2 tablespoons of cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of blue cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture on high for 25 seconds.
3
Now, merge the cheese mixture with the cooked onions, 1/2 cup of spinach, 1/4 cup of bread crumbs, 2 cloves of garlic, salt, and pepper; mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Place the stuffing mixture in the freezer to chill, allowing it to freeze for 15 to 20 minutes.
4
Before baking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
5
Cut the salmon into 2 portions. Slice each portion in half, leaving a connecting point at one side.
6
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon and cook until it develops a slight color on both sides, approximately 15 seconds per side. Transfer the salmon to the prepared baking dish.
7
Take the chilled stuffing out of the freezer and shape it into 2 balls. Place 1 ball onto each salmon portion.
8
Bake the stuffed fish in the preheated oven until it flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 17 minutes. Garnish the dish with lemon juice.
