MNLisaB's Note:

This sounds divine and I will be making this next weekend, a low carber's dream, spinach and cheese stuffed salmon. From a low carb chef's posting from Food Network. If desired, you could add roasted red pepper slices to the filling.

I tried this for the first time last night. I used the garlic herb flavored feta and it was quite tasty. I will make again in the future.

one of my alltime favorite salmon recipes. is also excellent on the grill - on top of some heavy duty foil of course. yum!

Great mix of flavors. A little rich though so next time I will use a little less cream and feta cheeses. It's a keeper though.
