Baked Salmon with Spinach and Mozzarella: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 47 minute

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)
– Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Baked Salmon with Spinach and Mozzarella:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Sauté Spinach: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Season the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs if desired.
5. Layer the Spinach: Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring each piece is well-covered.
6. Add Mozzarella: Top the spinach layer with shredded mozzarella cheese, distributing it evenly over each fillet.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Serve: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

These straightforward steps will guide you in preparing a delicious Baked Salmon with Spinach and Mozzarella that your family will love!
