Creamy Spinach Stuffed Salmon

This is a simple recipe from @everylastbite Instagram. I modified it to be egg-free.

Ingredients

Salmon fillets - 4 large pieces
【Filling】
Mayonnaise - 1/4 cup(replaced with 1/4 cup yogurt and 1/4 mashed avocado for egg free)
Spinach - 3 packed cups, raw
Garlic - 1 clove, crushed, chopped
Chili flakes - pinch
【Seasoning】
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Black pepper - 1/4 tsp
Olive oil - 1/2 TBSP
Ghee/butter - 1 and 1/2 TBSP
Shallots - 2, finely diced
Garlic - 2 cloves, crushed
Lemon juice - 1 TBSP
Lemon wedges - for garnish

Steps

1. Carefully cut a pocket in each fillet, not go more than 3/4 the way through.
2. Add spinach to a large skillet with a splash of water and cook for a minute until the spinach has wilted. Place cooked spinach on paper towel to remove excess water. Chop the cooked spinach.
3. In a bowl stir together the mayonnaise, garlic, spinach and chili flakes. Spoon the mixture to stuff the salmon fillets.
4. Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
5. Heat the olive oil and 1/2 TBSP of ghee in a non-stick skillet on medium high heat, place the salmon fillets in and leave them to cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Gently flip and cook another 3 minutes on the other side. Transfer cooked salmon to a plate.
6. Add the remaining 1 TBSP of ghee to the pan along with shallots and garlic, cook for a few minutes until the shallots soften. Reduce the heat to medium low and stir in lemon juice. Return the fillets to the pan and leave them to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
7. Before serving spoon the sauce over the fillets and garnish with parsley and slices of lemon.
