Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, sauté the sun-dried tomatoes over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes. Add the baby spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 more minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the feta cheese, Italian seasoning, and sea salt until well combined.
  4. Pat the salmon fillets dry and cut each lengthwise to create a pocket.
  5. Spray the outside with cooking spray, season with sea salt, and stuff the filling into the pockets.
  6. Place the stuffed salmon on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until fully cooked and flakes easily.
  7. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.
