A delightful baked salmon recipe topped with a creamy spinach mixture, perfect for a nutritious and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect texture for the salmon.
Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle them evenly with smoked paprika.
Using smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor to the dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Softened cream cheese is easier to mix and spread evenly.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Use a spatula to ensure an even layer of the mixture on each fillet.
Sprinkle the chopped onion over the cream cheese layer.
Chopped onions add a sweet and savory flavor as they bake.
Layer the baby spinach leaves over the onions, covering the entire surface.
Press the spinach gently to ensure it stays in place during baking.
Drizzle the spinach with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.
Drizzling olive oil helps the spinach cook evenly and enhances its flavor.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
Covering with foil traps steam, keeping the salmon moist and tender.
Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
Allowing the dish to rest helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
