Mediterranean Stuffed Salmon

Tzatziki with Feta is mixed with crab, green onion, and breadcrumbs to create an irresistible stuffing for salmon filets.

Ingredients

• 4 7-8oz. Salmon filets, skin removed
• (Optional) One 6oz. can Lump Crabmeat, drained and flaked
• 1 10-oz La Terra Fina Tzatziki with Feta Dip & Spread
• 1/2 cup Mushrooms, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp. Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp. Lemon Juice
• (Optional) 1 tbsp. Scallions, chopped
• 1 tbsp. Fresh Dill or Parsley, chopped
• 1 lb. Fresh Baby Spinach, for side dish
• 4 Garlic Cloves, minced, for side dish
• 2 tsp. Olive Oil, for side dish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Cut a slit through the middle of each salmon filet, about 2/3rd of the way through. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, stir together the crabmeat if using, chopped mushrooms, 8 oz. of Tzatziki with Feta Dip & Spread, lemon juice, chopped scallions if using, chopped dill or parsley, and breadcrumbs.
4. Stuff each open salmon slit with an equal amount of the filling, mounding on top of filet. Drizzle the salmon with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
5. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
6. In the meantime, make the side dish by heating a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and minced garlic to sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
7. Add the spinach and toss with the garlic. Stir until spinach is just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately with the cooked salmon.
8. Top each salmon filet with a small dollop of the remaining Tzatziki with Feta Dip & Spread. Enjoy!
