πŸ›’ Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon slices, for garnish

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ How to Make It:

1. Prepare the Salmon

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a deep pocket into the side of each salmon fillet without slicing all the way through. Season both the inside and outside with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

2. Make the Creamy Spinach Filling

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. SautΓ© the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in the mozzarella cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, and a splash of heavy cream. Mix until the filling is creamy and thick, then remove from the heat.

3. Stuff and Sear the Salmon

Carefully fill each salmon pocket with the creamy spinach mixture. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed salmon for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate while preparing the sauce.

4. Prepare the Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Sauce

In the same skillet, cook the shrimp until pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Pour in the remaining heavy cream and stir in the remaining Parmesan cheese. Simmer gently until the sauce becomes smooth, creamy, and slightly thickened.

5. Finish and Serve

Return the stuffed salmon to the skillet and spoon the creamy Tuscan shrimp sauce over the fillets. Cook for a few more minutes until the salmon is fully cooked through. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
