Instructions
Make a horizontal slice in the center of each salmon fillet but do not cut all the way through.
Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spinach and cook uncovered until tender, about 40 seconds. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a bowl.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, and feta cheese to the blanched spinach; mix to combine. Divide evenly and stuff into the salmon "pockets." Season fillets with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place salmon fillets, skin-sides down, in the hot skillet and sear for 5 minutes. Gently flip and sear the other sides for 5 minutes. Flip again to finish cooking, about 5 minutes more.
