In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it wilts. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach with ricotta, Parmesan, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until creamy and set aside.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Pat salmon fillets dry. Rub each fillet with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and coat with blackened seasoning.

In an oven-safe skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.

Spoon the cheese and spinach filling over each seared fillet.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the salmon reaches 145°F and flakes easily.

Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve with extra spinach filling on the side.
