Description

A delightful baked salmon dish combined with spinach and creamy mozzarella that captures the essence of comfort food while remaining healthy and satisfying.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fillets Salmon
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 300 g Spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1 Onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 200 g Sour Cream
  • 150 g Mozzarella
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Stir in the thawed spinach and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. In a bowl, mix the sour cream with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Spread this mixture onto the salmon fillets.
  6. Place the spinach mixture on top of the salmon, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over everything.
  7. Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the cheese is golden.

Notes

Use fresh salmon for the best flavor. Ensure spinach is well drained to prevent sogginess. A meat thermometer should read 63°C (145°F) for perfectly cooked salmon.
