Submitted by:Rachel Gargano
Salmon and walnuts are both super-stars: they are packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Top this combo with spinach and you've got yourself a delectable dish for champions!
Ingredients
- 1 pound (16 ounces) salmon fillets
- 1 bag baby spinach
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup feta cheese (or sharp white cheddar)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Place salmon, skin side down, in a baking dish. You may place the salmon on a small rack in the baking dish if preferred.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Sautee onions and 2 tsp olive oil in a large sautee pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add spinach, salt, and pepper and let wilt, mixing occasionally.
- Let cool then mix with feta/cheddar and walnuts. Layer the mixture on the salmon filets.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until the fish is opaque in the center (light pink, no longer dark pink). HINT: When cooking fish, aim for 10 minutes per each inch of thickness. Enjoy with a delicious veggie side dish!
