In a mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, minced garlic and kale. Set aside.

Step 4

Place the salmon filets on a cutting board and cut a slit into the side of the salmon filet about ¾ of the way through. Do not open all the way or the cream cheese mixture will fall out.

Sprinkle the top of the salmon with salt and pepper.

Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes until salmon is cooked through.

Step 8

Serve immediately with sliced lemons on top.
