Salmon Florentine

Yay for tomorrow being Friday! I made it to spinning this morning at 6 am! It was a good workout and right now I am exhausted. Noting really happened at school today besides a fight with a few boys at recess and some work on our comparing and contrasting paragraphs. 🙂

After school I stopped at Verizon to keep trying to get my phone fixed…we are almost there. Then I came home to make dinner. I had two recipes – one from Self and one from Cooking Light magazine that I used as a guide.

Here is what I did:

Salmon Florentine

Ingredients

  • 1 packages frozen spinach, thawed
  • 1/4 cup minced onions
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 2 laughing cow lights
  • 2 skinless salmon fillets (6 oz each), rinsed and patted dry

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 450 degrees and place salmon on a foiled baking sheet in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Place spinach, tomatoes, garlic and onions in a sauce pan and heat until liquid has dissolved then set aside.
  3. Add 2 laughing cow; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Pack about spinach mixture on top of each fillet.
  5. Place salmon back into the oven for about 10 minutes until salmon and spinach mixture are both hot.
  6. Serve!

I served this with butternut squash barley risotto. Recipe coming soon!

    Ok, while I don’t eat meat, this would work well with a few meat substitutes. Thanks for sharing!!

    Don’t you think it would be funny if adults acted like kids and just randomly got into fights in the office? I always think…ya know, maybe kids have the right idea- just do it out and move on! Adults hold grudges instead ;). Great job on the dinner! You always make such pretty dishes 🙂

    I love using multiple recipes and picking and choosing the parts I like to make my own – perfect improvisation!

    You frequently have couples over for dinner but would you ever consider having fans of the blog over.

    We eat salmon often in my house. I’ve saved this recipe. Caveman at Caution:Caveman Cooking gave me an Honest Award recently. Part of accepting the award is to pass it along to your favorite blogs. I’m passing it along to your blog. 🙂
