• 4 salmon fillets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, make a slit down the center of each fillet to create a pocket for the stuffing.
4. Season the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture generously over both sides of each salmon fillet.
5. Stuff the Salmon: Carefully spoon the spinach and Parmesan filling into the pocket of each salmon fillet, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
6. Cook the Salmon: Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed salmon fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely blackened.
7. Bake the Salmon: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair it with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.

Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious blackened salmon stuffed with spinach and Parmesan cheese! This dish is perfect for a special dinner or a healthy weeknight meal.
