Share

Ingredients

4 oz cherry tomatoes, seeded, chopped
Pinch of Kosher Salt
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 scallions, green and white parts separated, sliced
5 oz fresh spinach, chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
2 tbsp plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
¼ tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp ground cumin
2 oz feta, crumbled, divided
4 (6 oz) salmon fillets
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Soak tomatoes with ¼ tsp salt in a bowl of water for 5 minutes and then strain.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and white scallions for 1 minute, then add spinach and thyme and cook 3 minutes until spinach is wilted. Drain spinach mixture, let cool slightly, then pat dry with paper towels. Wipe the skillet clean and place it in the oven to preheat.
  3. Chop tomatoes and transfer to a medium bowl. Add spinach mixture, yogurt, coriander, cumin, and half the feta into the bowl and combine.
  4. Pat salmon dry; generously season both sides with salt. Without cutting through the salmon, cut a deep pocket into the side of each fillet and stuff with the filling.
  5. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, add 1 tbsp oil, and add salmon skin side down. Bake 8-10 minutes until flakey. Turn on broiler and broil for about 2 minute to brown the tops.
  6. In a small bowl, mix red pepper flakes, green scallions, and remaining feta, then sprinkle over the salmon.
