2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
4. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked spinach, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
5. Cut a pocket into each salmon fillet and stuff with the spinach and cream cheese mixture.
6. Season the outside of the salmon with salt and pepper.

8. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.

Chef’s Tips

• Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
• For added flavor, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the fillets before baking.
• Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
