  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9x11-inch baking pan with foil.
  • Press as much liquid from the thawed spinach as possible using clean dish towels or paper towels and place in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to turn clear, about 4 minutes. Add cooked mushrooms and onions to spinach with Parmesan cheese, garden vegetable cream cheese, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined and add kosher salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Combine olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl.
  • Pat salmon fillets dry and brush both sides with the combined olive oil and lemon juice. Place fillets in the foil-lined pan and sprinkle with ground sea salt. Divide spinach mixture evenly between the two fillets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 19 minutes. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
