Feta Spinach Stuffed Salmon Fillets

I have recently developed a huge appreciation for salmon. It is just so good for you- filled with high-quality protein, potassium, selenium and vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. The spinach is rich in iron, calcium, and antioxidants. Feta cheese provides protein and calcium while being lower in fat compared to other cheeses. Plus, they cook up nicely into a healthy meal that is quick and full of rich flavor.

You are just going to love this stuffed salmon recipe for feta spinach stuffed salmon fillets! It is an easy recipe and the resulting stuffed salmon fillet is impressive enough for dinner parties and special occasions.
