Ingredients
-
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
-
½ cup thinly sliced shallots
-
5 cloves garlic, minced
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
-
10 ounces fresh baby spinach (about 5 cups)
-
½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
-
⅓ cup reduced-fat cream cheese
-
6 (6 ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in crushed red pepper; cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Add spinach in batches; cook, stirring until wilted before adding more, about 3 minutes total. Remove from heat. Add mozzarella and cream cheese; stir until the cheeses melt. Let cool for 10 minutes.
-
Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a clean work surface. With a sharp knife, make a cut lengthwise down the middle of each fillet, cutting to but not through the skin. Transfer the salmon to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Fill each pocket with about 1/3 cup of the spinach mixture. Bake until the salmon is opaque in the center, 8 to 10 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
