Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients:
2 boneless pink salmon filets
2-3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
zest of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp salt, divided
1/2 tsp ground black pepper, divided
4 cups of baby spinach
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions:
preheat oven to 400 degrees.
combine the Dijon mustard, lemon zest, 1/4 tsp of each salt and pepper, and 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Set aside.
heat remaining oil (about 1-2 tbsp) in a large skillet. Add spinach and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until wilted. Add garlic, thyme, and remaining salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in parmesan. Set aside and let cool.
carefully cut the salmon filets almost in half longways, creating a pouch. Spoon about half of the mustard mixture inside each of the filets. Next, stuff each filet with half of the spinach mixture. "Close" the salmon and brush with any remaining sauce.
bake on a lined, rimmed pan for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through.
