4 fillets Fresh Salmon Fillets The chief protein source; fresh salmon ensures optimal flavor and texture.
1 tablespoon Olive Oil Adds moisture and enhances flavor; avocado oil is a great alternative.
to taste Salt Essential for seasoning; adjust according to taste.
to taste Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust according to taste.

4 cups Baby Spinach Provides vibrant color, nutrients, and volume to the mixture.
1 cup Feta Cheese Creates a creamy texture; sheep’s feta is best for richness.
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Introduces a savory note; freshly grated offers superior taste.
1/2 cup Roasted Red Peppers Adds a touch of sweetness and color; sun-dried tomatoes can be used for variety.
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning A mix of herbs that enhances the Mediterranean flavors; substitute with oregano, basil, and thyme if needed.
1 teaspoon Paprika Imparts warmth and depth; choose smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor.
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Provides a hint of heat; adjust according to your spice preference.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each salmon fillet lengthwise, ensuring it stays attached at the ends.
Brush the salmon with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Sauté the baby spinach in the remaining olive oil along with Italian seasoning, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the chopped roasted red peppers, feta, and parmesan until everything is well combined.
Stuff each salmon fillet with the prepared filling and arrange them on your lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12-17 minutes, checking for doneness.
Serve hot and enjoy the wonderful medley of flavors.

Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges for a pop of color and extra zest. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
