BAKED SALMON WITH MASCARPONE SPINACH



Baked Salmon With Mascarpone Spinach image

I got this recipe from the magazine, Bon Appetit a couple of years ago. The first time I made it, we were hooked! Mascarpone is an Italian cream cheese that can be found in many grocery stores and Italian markets. This recipe calls for salmon fillets but I found it easier to use the whole fillet and then cut it after cooking. Increase the cooking time to 25-30 minutes if using the whole fillet. And use fresh grated cheese...not that stuff in a canister that you find on the grocery shelf.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

cooking spray
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese, or to taste
⅓ cup frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
2 stalks scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced

  • Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes evenly with a fork and filling is hot, 20 to 30 minutes. The time will depend on the size and weight of salmon used; check progress at 20 minutes to determine if additional baking time is needed.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1 pound in weight and has a thickness of about 1 inch. The fillet should be boneless and skinless.
  • Make sure the salmon is cooked through: The salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fillet.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook the salmon just until it is cooked through, then remove it from the oven.
  • Let the salmon rest before serving: Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the fish, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides: Baked salmon stuffed with mascarpone and spinach can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Baked salmon stuffed with mascarpone and spinach is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The salmon is tender and flaky, and the mascarpone and spinach filling is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
