Spinach Stuffed Salmon
Spinach Stuffed Salmon is an easy, protein-packed dish that combines tender salmon with a bright, green filling. The goal is to create a flavorful pocket inside each fillet, so every bite bursts with spinach and seasonings.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 g Salmon fillets for stuffing
- 300 g Fresh spinach wilted and drained
- 50 g Cream cheese optional, for creamy filling
- 15 ml Olive oil for cooking
- 1 unit Lemon juice for flavor
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- optional Fresh herbs for added flavor
Instructions
- Start by wilting the spinach gently and draining any excess moisture. Chop or blend until it's well mixed, then fold in your chosen seasonings and any optional dairy or cheese you prefer.
- Gently cut or score the salmon fillets to create pockets for the filling.
- Divide the filling and spoon it into each pocket, pressing gently so it stays put during cooking.
- Preheat the air fryer and lay the stuffed salmon fillets in a single layer. Cook until the salmon is just opaque and the filling is heated through, about 10-15 minutes.
- After cooking, let the salmon rest for a few moments to allow the juices to redistribute before serving.
Notes
Tip: Avoid overstuffing the pockets to prevent filling leakage and keep the fillets in a single layer for even cooking.
