SALMON FILLETS WITH SPINACH FOR TWO



Salmon Fillets with Spinach for Two image

Frozen spinach and garden vegetable cream cheese combine with salmon fillets! This is easy to double, if you need 4 servings. Created for a regular oven, this recipe is easily prepared in an air fryer by reducing the temperature by 25 degrees and reducing the time by five minutes. Be sure to monitor for doneness, because overcooking will dry out the salmon.

Provided by Bibi

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¾ cup chopped fresh mushrooms
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 ounces garden vegetable cream cheese, softened
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 (8 ounce) skinless salmon fillets
ground sea salt to taste
2 slices lemon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9x11-inch baking pan with foil.
  • Press as much liquid from the thawed spinach as possible using clean dish towels or paper towels and place in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to turn clear, about 4 minutes. Add cooked mushrooms and onions to spinach with Parmesan cheese, garden vegetable cream cheese, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined and add kosher salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Combine olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl.
  • Pat salmon fillets dry and brush both sides with the combined olive oil and lemon juice. Place fillets in the foil-lined pan and sprinkle with ground sea salt. Divide spinach mixture evenly between the two fillets.

SALMON AND SPINACH WITH CAPER SAUCE



Salmon and Spinach With Caper Sauce image

Another great fish recipe based on one from the Low Fat Living Cookbook. The original recipe called for wrapping the salmon fillets in phyllo dough, for everyday meals I just use foil. (I always have a package of frozen mixed mushrooms from Trader Joe's on hand, so if I want to make this and don't have fresh mushrooms, the frozen ones work just as well). Sprinkling the spinach with some rice vinegar after baking makes this taste like the sautéed spinach and garlic served at P.F. Chang's.

Categories     Spinach

Time 40m

Yield 4 Fillets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 salmon fillets
1 orange, sliced
1 cup white wine
2 tablespoons butter
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup vegetable stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 orange, juice of
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, fine chopped
salt
pepper
7 ounces Baby Spinach (1 bag pre washed)
1/4 diced pancetta, fine chopped
1 red onion (small cut in half and thin sliced)
1 tablespoon olive oil
vegetable broth
pepper

Steps:

  • Fish -- A easy way to steam salmon is to individually wrap the fillets in saran wrap and steam right in a colander over a pan of water. No clean up and easy. So, my trick is to set a 10x10 piece of plastic wrap in a small cereal bowl or something similar. Then, set the salmon skin side down on the plastic wrap and top with butter, salt and pepper, 2 orange slices and then 1/4 cup wine. Wrap up the salmon like a little package and you are ready to cook it. Bring a medium pan or pot of water to a boil and set a colander or strainer over the top. This way you will be steaming your fish. As the water comes to a boil, start your sauce.
  • Sauce -- In a small pot add the butter and melt on medium heat, add the flour and mix to make a roux. Cook another minute until well combined. Add in 3/4 cup of the vegetable broth, garlic and cream and cook on medium (not boiling) until thickened. It will take about 7-10 minutes. Once thickened, add the lemon and orange juice, parsley and check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Set on low while you finish the fish and spinach. Before I serve the sauce I add the remaining 1/4 cup broth to thin it out just a bit.
  • Fish Steaming -- Your water is boiling and the salmon is wrapped. As you were making the sauce. Just set your 4 packets on the colander or steamer and cover. You just want the water level so it doesn't come up through the colander or steamer. Cover -- I use an over sized lid or even just a piece of foil. Don't worry if it doesn't fit, it is just meant to keep some of the steam inches The fish will take around 15 minutes.
  • Spinach -- Sauce is done, fish is cooking. Time to saute your spinach. In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and pancetta and cook 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Add in the onion and cook another couple of minutes. Then add in the spinach and a couple of tablespoons of broth and cook just a few minutes until wilted. I don't like to over cook the spinach.
  • Plate -- Place a bed of spinach on each plate. Unwrap the steamed / poached salmon and place each piece on the bed of spinach. Don't worry about the wine in the bottom of the packets, that was just to keep the fish moist as it cooked, but it certainly couldn't hurt to add it right over the spinach.
  • Note: The skin should come right off when you remove from the packets.
  • Top the salmon with the citrus sauce and enjoy. Serve with some buttered new potatoes.
  • Plate the spinach, nicely wilted but still not too overdone, top with the salmon, orange slices and some of the wine and butter and then top with the citrus sauce.
  • Add some new potatoes on the side or rice pilaf makes for a very nice dinner.

CREAMY GARLIC, LEMON & SPINACH SALMON



Creamy garlic, lemon & spinach salmon image

Cook our 20-minute salmon supper for two and serve with sweet potato mash. It takes just a handful of ingredients to make and delivers two of your 5-a-day

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sweet potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil or rapeseed oil
2 salmon fillets, skin removed
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
170g baby spinach
1 lemon, zested and ½ juiced, ½ thinly sliced
75g mascarpone
5 tbsp milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times each and microwave on high for 5 mins until soft (alternatively, bake for 35-40 mins). Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Heat half the oil in a frying pan and lightly brown the salmon on both sides - don't worry about it being cooked through at this point. Transfer the salmon to a plate, wipe out the pan and heat the remaining oil. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds, without letting it brown, then add the spinach, lemon zest and juice and some seasoning. Stir in the mascarpone and 2 tbsp of the milk and cook until the spinach has wilted.
  • Tip the spinach mix into an ovenproof dish and top with the lemon slices and salmon fillets. Bake for 5-8 mins until the salmon is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, scoop the sweet potato flesh from the skins and mash with the remaining milk and some seasoning. Serve the sweet potato mash alongside the salmon and creamy spinach.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality salmon. Look for fillets that are firm and have a vibrant pink color. Avoid any fish that has a slimy texture or an off smell.
  • Cook the salmon gently. Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough. Bake or grill the salmon until it is just cooked through, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make sure the spinach sauce is creamy and flavorful. Use fresh spinach, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese to make a rich and delicious sauce.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice are all great options.

Conclusion:

Salmon with spinach sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the spinach sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
