Spinach Garlic Scapes Salsa With Salmon Recipes

GARLIC SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
• In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

CREAMY GARLIC, LEMON & SPINACH SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times each and microwave on high for 5 mins until soft (alternatively, bake for 35-40 mins). Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Heat half the oil in a frying pan and lightly brown the salmon on both sides - don't worry about it being cooked through at this point. Transfer the salmon to a plate, wipe out the pan and heat the remaining oil. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds, without letting it brown, then add the spinach, lemon zest and juice and some seasoning. Stir in the mascarpone and 2 tbsp of the milk and cook until the spinach has wilted.
• Tip the spinach mix into an ovenproof dish and top with the lemon slices and salmon fillets. Bake for 5-8 mins until the salmon is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, scoop the sweet potato flesh from the skins and mash with the remaining milk and some seasoning. Serve the sweet potato mash alongside the salmon and creamy spinach.

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.

GOCHUJANG-GLAZED SALMON WITH GARLIC SPINACH

Steps:

• Position a rack in upper third of oven. Preheat broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. I used a butter wrapper from a stick of butter to grease my pan, and I did not line my pan and it washed up just fine without foil.
• Whisk gochujang, mirin, a tablespoon tamari, honey, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/4 of the garlic and ginger in a small bowl.
• Pat salmon dry and place skin-side down on the prepared pan. Brush the salmon with the glaze. Broil until the salmon is just cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining teaspoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 3 cloves garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and just starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted and the pan is dry, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon tamari.
• Serve the salmon over the spinach.

GRILLED WILD SALMON WITH GARLIC SCAPE PESTO AND SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Oil a grill with coconut oil and preheat the grill over high heat.
• Put the garlic scapes, kale, olive oil, cheese, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender and process until finely chopped. Divide the pesto in half and reserve one- half for another use.
• Place the salmon on the grill, flesh side down, and grill 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon, and place the squash slices on the grill. Brush the pesto over the salmon and the squash.
• Grill the squash, turning it occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through. Grill the salmon 4 to 5 minutes until the skin crisps but the center is still medium. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

SPINACH & GARLIC SCAPES SALSA WITH SALMON

Steps:

• Place spinach, scapes& parmesan in food processor and pulse until mixture is chunky.
• With machine running, pour in olive oil.
• Process until mixture is smooth.
• Add butter, salt& pepper& mix.
• If you didn't ask the fish monger to slice the salmon into scallops (LONG SLICES) then do it yourself by placing a carving knife at a 45 degree angle and slice down through the raw salmon to the skin but NOT through it.
• Now place your knife at a 45 degree angle& remove the scallops from the skin; discard the skin.
• Place the scallops on a plate& cut each long slice into 2 inch pieces.
• Heat oil in nonstick skillet.
• Season salmon& place flesh side down; fry 1 side only for 1 minute or until browned.
• Flip salmon onto baking sheet, browned side up.
• Spread some salsa on top of salmon.
• Bake in preheated 450F oven for 1 or 2 minutes - just until white juices begin to appear.
