Roasted Salmn on Braised Spinach
Prep time: 5 minutes
Total Cooking time: 8-10 minutes
Serves 2
Ingredients:
salmon fillet (figure about 2” per person), skin on (I like to use a larger piece than I would need for a meal, because leftovers are wonderful cold in a salad or sandwich)
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Pinch of smoked paprika
Lemon juice – just a spritz
1 bag baby spinach
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Lemon juice – another spritz
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 500°F/250°C. (Highest without it being the broiler, will cook the salmon up tender and juicy in 5-8 minutes).
2. Lay the salmon, skin side down, on a foil lined, lipped cookie sheet. Sprinkle with dill, paprika, pepper and a spritz of lemon juice. Bake in the center of the oven for no more than 8 minutes.
3. In the meantime, to prepare the spinach, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the shallots in the olive oil for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to golden. Add the spinach and toss until it wilts (3-4 minutes). Spritz with lemon juice, add salt and pepper, toss and taste for seasonings.
4. Place the spinach on individual plates or a platter and slide the salmon off the skin and on top of the spinach. As Jamie Oliver would say – “Easy Peasy!”

This is excellent. I was surprised it needed no fat/oil. The salmon turned out moist and full of flavor. Spinach was also delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it. It's still my favorite "go to" salmon recipe.
