1️⃣ Prepare the Salmon – Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket in the center of each fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through.

2️⃣ Season the Salmon – In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Brush olive oil over each fillet, then rub the spice mixture all over the salmon, including inside the pocket.

3️⃣ Make the Filling – In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté spinach until wilted (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.

4️⃣ Stuff the Salmon – Evenly distribute the spinach-Parmesan mixture into each salmon pocket.

5️⃣ Cook the Salmon – Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until blackened on the outside and cooked through.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy – Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes, then serve with lemon wedges, a side salad, or roasted veggies!
