Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided, or as needed

  • ¼ cup chopped onion, or more to taste

  • ½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese

  • ¼ 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

Directions

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.

  2. Combine cream cheese and blue cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 25 seconds.

  3. Add cheese mixture, spinach, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper to the onions; mix until well combined. Put stuffing in the freezer until chilled, 15 to 20 minutes.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.

  5. Cut salmon into 2 portions. Slice each portion in half, leaving a connecting point at one side.

  6. Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and fry until colored a bit, about 15 seconds per side. Transfer salmon to the prepared baking dish.

  7. Take stuffing out of the freezer and make into 2 balls. Put 1 ball into each salmon portion.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 17 minutes. Garnish with lemon juice.

Cook’s Note

Best served with some steamed asparagus and baby carrots.

Delicious paired with a white wine, such as Chardonnay.
