Ingredients
Servings: 2
- 2 salmon fillets, about 4 ounces each
- 1 ounce spinach
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (lowest sodium available)
- 1 tablespoon plain dry bread crumbs (lowest sodium available)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Dash of pepper
Directions
- In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the spinach and lemon zest for 2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted, stirring constantly. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the roasted peppers, basil, and walnuts. Cool for 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray.
- Cut a lengthwise slit in the side of each fillet to make a pocket for the stuffing. Be careful to not cut through to the other side. Stuff a scant 1/2 cup spinach mixture into each fillet. Transfer to the baking sheet. With a pastry brush or spoon, spread the mustard over the fish.
- Stir together the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Sprinkle over the fish. Lightly spray the top with cooking spray.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the fish is the desired doneness and the filling is heated through.
