4 Salmon filets, about 6 oz each
2 tablespoons olive or grapeseed oil
1/4 cup red onion, sautéed till transparent
1 garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup sweet red pepper, diced
5 ounce bag of baby spinach, blanched
1/2 cup artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, coarsely chopped
1 - 2 tablespoons capers
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Put on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat the broiler on high. Broil the top of salmon for 3 minutes, remove and set aside. Change oven temperature to 400 degrees.
In a medium skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and red pepper in olive oil over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Blanch the baby spinach for 1 minute; drain, cool and coarsely chop.
In a medium bowl combine the sautéed onion mixture, spinach, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, zest and lemon juice. Season with a little salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Sprinkle in the feta cheese and gently stir.
With your hands or a scoop, mound the spinach mixture on top the salmon and gently press down.
Bake at preheated 400 degree oven for about 5 minutes, until fish flakes easily.
Bon appetite!
