Ingredients
10 mL olive oil, divided, or as needed
60 mL chopped onion, or more to taste
115 g cream cheese
60 mL crumbled blue cheese
240 mL chopped fresh spinach
15 mL dry bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
225 g salmon fillet
5 mL lemon juice, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
In a skillet, heat 5 mL of oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
Step 2
Combine cream cheese and blue cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 25 seconds.
Step 3
Add the cheese mixture, spinach, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper to the onions; mix until well combined. Place the stuffing in the freezer until chilled, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 5
Cut salmon into 2 portions. Slice each portion in half, leaving a connecting point at one side.
Step 6
Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and fry until lightly browned, about 15 seconds per side. Transfer salmon to the prepared baking dish.
Step 7
Remove the stuffing from the freezer and shape into 2 balls. Place 1 ball into each salmon portion.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 17 minutes. Garnish with lemon juice.
