  2. Carefully slice each salmon fillet lengthwise, leaving about half an inch at the bottom intact.
  3. Using a brush, coat the exterior of the salmon with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a medium skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat and sauté the baby spinach with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and mix in roasted red peppers, feta cheese, and parmesan until well combined.
  6. Stuff each salmon pocket with the spinach-feta mixture, packing it evenly.
  7. Bake the stuffed salmon on the prepared baking sheet for 12-17 minutes or until opaque and flaky.
  8. Remove from the oven, let rest for a minute, and serve hot with a light salad or whole grains.
