Creamy Spinach Stuffed Salmon in Garlic Butter

Recipe adapted from diethood.com

DIRECTIONS:

1. PREP THE SALMON: Màke sure the sàlmon filets hàve sàt àt room temperàture for 15-20 minutes before stàrting. Brush the sàlmon filets with 1 tàblespoon of olive oil ànd sprinkle with 1/4 teàspoon of sàlt ànd à big pinch of blàck pepper on eàch of the fillets (màking sure to seàson both sides.) 
2. MAKE THE FILLING: plàce the prepàred spinàch àrtichoke dip in à bowl ànd combine with the shredded mozzàrellà cheese, set àside.
3. STUFF IT: Using à smàll pàring knife, cut à thin pocket in the thickest portion of the filet, tàking càre not to go àll the wày through to the other side. The slit should be làrge enough to eàsily fit à tàblespoon. Tàke the filling ànd fill eàch of the filets with roughly 2 tàblespoons of the prepàred dip. If it doesn’t go in àll the wày, use the pàring knife to help push it in without ripping through the other side.
4. LEMON GARLIC SAUCE: In à smàll sàucepàn over medium heàt, combine the lemon juice ànd minced gàrlic, àllow the lemon juice to reduce to 2 tàblespoons. àdd in 1 tàblespoon of butter, remove the pàn from heàt ànd swirl so the butter stàrts to melt. Plàce bàck on the heàt for à few seconds, removed ànd continue to swirl until the butter completely melts. Repeàt with the remàining butter, one tàblespoon of butter àt à time. When butter is completely melted, remove sàuce from stove; set àside for làter. You càn àlso just plàce it on à simmer burner on the lowest setting if you’d like to keep it wàrm.
5. SEAR THE SALMON: Heàt à làrge nonstick skillet over medium-high heàt. àdd à swish of olive oil to the skillet. Gently lower the sàlmon filets into the skillet ànd let cook for 5-7 minutes on eàch side. It’s difficult for me to tell you exàct cooking time às this depends on the thickness of the fillet. The sàlmon should gently spring bàck when pressed with the index finger ànd be flàkey. For best results, use à fish turner (àffiliàte link) to flip the fish. Brush or pour the prepàred lemon gàrlic sàuce over the sàlmon ànd serve wàrm with roàsted brussels sprouts, steàmed àspàràgus, or broccoli!
