I saw something like this being sold for outrageous amounts of money in the fish case at the local grocery store, and I thought, “I can do that! ”
YIELD: 2 servings, each with 5 grams of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and 45 grams of protein.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine the cream cheese and feta, mashing and stirring with a fork until well blended. Add the scallions and spinach, and combine well.
- Spread the mixture evenly over one salmon fillet. (The filling will be about 3/4 inch thick.) Top with the second salmon fillet. Brush both sides with olive oil, turning the whole thing over carefully with a spatula.
