Salmon Steaks With Spinach Recipes

SALMON STEAKS WITH SPINACH

Steps:

• Wash spinach and shake off water. Cut into 1-inch-wide strips and set aside. Turn on broiler and preheat broiler pan.
• Wipe fish with damp cloth. Remove broiler pan and grease lightly; arrange fish in single layer on pan. Broil about 4 inches from heat for 5 minutes. Remove pan from broiler; turn fish and season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle evenly with dill weed and dot with about 1 Tblsp. butter. Return pan to broiler and broil fish about 5 minutes more or until it flakes readily when prodded in thickest portion with a fork.
• Meanwhile, in a wide frying pan, melt remaining 3 Tblsp. of the butter over medium-high heat and saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in spinach (with water that clings to leaves). Cover pan and cook, stirring occasionally, over high heat for about 3 minutes or until wilted and bright green.
• To serve, spoon spinach onto warm rimmed platter. Lay salmon steaks on top. Garnish with lemon wedges.

BAKED SALMON WITH SPINACH AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C.
• Gently boil or steam the leeks for 5 minutes to soften.
• Place the spinach leaves in a medium-sized baking tin and top with the leeks. Place the salmon on top.
• Mix together the oil, garlic and ginger and liberally brush over the salmon. Squeeze the lemon juice over the salmon.
• Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
• Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Goes well with Avocado dressing drizzled over the top.
• To make the dressing, scoop the flesh from the avocados into a small food processor bowl. Add all the other dressing ingredients and blend until smooth. If necessary add a little cold water to form a smooth paste.

SALMON WITH CREAM CHEESE, SPINACH & GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Spray a 9x9 baking pan with olive oil. Place salmon fillets in pan. Sprinkle lightly with paprika.
• In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley and a sprinkle of pepper. Spread this over the salmon fillets. (I usually micrwave this for 20 to 30 seconds to make it easier to spread).
• Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly over the cream cheese.
• Layer the baby spinach leaves evenly and neatly over the onions (I make 4 layers of leaves).
• Spray or drizzle the spinach leaves with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake 25-35 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. It takes a little longer than usual because of all the toppings.
