Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Gently cut a pocket into each salmon fillet, being careful not to slice all the way through.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over each salmon fillet, then season with salt and pepper.
  4. Sauté the baby spinach with Italian seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
  5. Fold in the jarred roasted red peppers, crumbled feta, and grated parmesan cheese into the wilted spinach.
  6. Stuff the salmon pockets with the spinach and feta mixture, pressing down on the filling.
  7. Bake for 12 to 17 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, and serve warm with a light salad or whole grains.
