BAKED SALMON WITH MASCARPONE SPINACH
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.

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.
