In a small bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, feta, cream cheese, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
1
Place the salmon fillets on a flat surface. Using a sharp knife, cut a slit horizontally into the thickest part of the fillet to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
2
Carefully spoon the spinach and feta mixture into each salmon pocket.
3
Rub the outside of the fillets with olive oil and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
4
Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat butter in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
5
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5–8 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and the filling is hot.
6
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
