Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets
- 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 cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the drained spinach to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through and moisture evaporates. Season with salt and pepper, remove from heat, and stir in sour cream until creamy.
- Preheat oven to 175°C (347°F). Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Sear the salmon in a pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side.
- Place salmon skin-side down in a greased baking dish. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the salmon.
- Top with mozzarella cheese and bake for 15–20 minutes until salmon is opaque and cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from oven, rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
Notes
- Slightly undercook the salmon during searing to keep it moist after baking.
- Try different cheeses like provolone or mild cheddar for flavor variations.
