 How to Make It :

 Whip Up That Creamy Filling:

In a small pan, combine spinach, cream cheese, cream, garlic, and cheese. Stir until creamy and melted. This cheesy, dreamy filling turns your salmon into a flavor-loaded upgrade.

 Stuff & Sear the Salmon:

Cut a slit in each salmon fillet and stuff with the creamed spinach. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear in olive oil over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side. That crispy golden crust is a total dinner game-changer.

 Sizzle the Garlic Shrimp:

Melt butter in a skillet, add garlic and shrimp. Cook 2–3 mins per side until pink. Sprinkle parsley and red pepper flakes for a quick, buttery topper that’s full of seafood flavor punch.

 Roast the Asparagus & Steam Rice:

Roast asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper at 400°F for 10–12 mins. Steam rice or use your favorite quick-cook method. These sides keep it fresh and balanced while letting the fish shine.

 Assemble Your Plate:

Plate your salmon with shrimp on top, rice on the side, and asparagus tucked in. Drizzle any leftover garlic butter over everything for that next-level finish.
