Preparation Steps
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle olive oil and sauté minced garlic for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add cooked spinach, diced cherry tomatoes, and fresh thyme. Stir in Greek yogurt along with ground cumin and coriander. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut slits in the salmon fillets to create pockets for the filling.
  4. Spoon the filling into each salmon pocket, sprinkle with kosher salt, add crumbled feta on top, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
  5. Bake the stuffed salmon for about 25 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork and is light pink in the center.
  6. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving, garnished with chopped parsley or dill.
