Instructions
- Pat dry the salmon fillets and drizzle olive oil over them. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Carefully cut slits lengthwise in the salmon, being cautious not to cut too deep.
- In a small saucepan, sauté the spinach with 1 tablespoon of water until wilted. Drain the spinach and transfer it to a bowl.

- Stuff the salmon fillets with the spinach filling, using a toothpick to seal the ends if necessary.
