Name: Feta, Spinach and Tomato Stuffed Salmon
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 oz. cherry tomatoes, seeded, chopped; Kosher salt; 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped; 2 scallions, green and white parts separated, sliced; 5 oz. fresh spinach, chopped; 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme; 2 Tbsp. plain whole-milk Greek yogurt; 1/4 tsp. ground coriander; 1/4 tsp. ground cumin; 2 oz. feta, crumbled, divided; 4 (6-oz.) salmon fillets; 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

A weeknight dinner that eats like a restaurant plate. You tuck a warm filling of wilted spinach, melty feta, and blistered cherry tomatoes right into each salmon fillet, then roast and flash-broil until the tops just turn golden. It comes together in one skillet, leans on protein and good fats, and stays in low-GL territory without tasting remotely like “diet food.”

The primary glycemic load contributors are cherry tomatoes (GL 0.1), garlic (GL 0.1), fresh spinach (GL 0.1). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.
