Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them skin-side down on the baking sheet.
Carefully slice each fillet to create a pocket for stuffing.
In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the spinach with seasoning for 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix in feta, Parmesan, red peppers, and garlic powder.
Brush fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Stuff the spinach-feta mixture into the salmon pockets.
Bake for 12-17 minutes until salmon flakes easily at 145°F (63°C).
Let rest for a few minutes before serving warm with sides.
