Salmon is high not only in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, but in unique, high-quality proteins. The powerful combo makes salmon good for your brain, bones, eyes, and mood!

Stuffed Salmon

 2 cups spinach fresh, finely chopped
 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
 1/8 teaspoon salt
 4 salmon fillets thick (5oz), center-cut, skin-on
1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside. In a small bowl, combine first 6 ingredients (spinach through salt).

2

Cut a slit lengthwise along the top of each piece of salmon, taking care to not cut completely through. Pull sides apart and spoon 3 tablespoons of the spinach mixture into the middle of the slit, and smooth the filling into a mound.

3

Transfer fillets to the baking sheet, and bake for 17 minutes, or until the center of the fillet is cooked through. Use a spatula to remove skin before serving.
