Preparation

• To make this stuffed salmon, start by preparing the salmon itself. Cut slits or pockets about ¾ quarter of the way through the salmon, being careful not to cut all the way through. Repeat until each piece of salmon is cut and set them aside.
• Next, prepare the filling. Add the softened cream cheese, spinach, mashed garlic, parmesan cheese, and ground black pepper to a bowl and mix to combine. If the cream cheese is not soft, you can microwave it for 20 seconds to soften it.
• Then, stuff the filling into the salmon, packing in as much as you can!
• In a separate small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, and cumin until they're fully combined.
• Then, rub the spice mixture on top of each piece of salmon.
• Once the salmon is seasoned, grease a large, oven-safe skillet (like a 10-inch cast iron) with butter or oil and transfer the salmon pieces into the skillet.
• Finally, transfer the skillet into the oven and broil it for 13 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.
• Once it's done, remove it from the oven, serve, and enjoy!
