Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is in the center.
 - Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until aromatic and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
 - Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts down, then remove from heat and let it cool.
 - Combine the wilted spinach with cream cheese, grated parmesan, shredded mozzarella, lemon zest, and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Stir until well incorporated.
 - Create a pocket in each salmon fillet by gently slicing down the side, ensuring not to cut all the way through. Stuff each pocket generously with the creamy spinach mixture.
 - Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In an oven-safe skillet, sear the salmon skin-side down for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
 - Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
 - Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices for a fresh finish before serving.
