Ingredients

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen spinach, thawed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup minced shallots
2 teaspoons minced garlic
5 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, rinsed and patted dry

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using your hands, squeeze spinach of all excess liquid.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook for 3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool approximately 10 minutes. Add ricotta and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.

Using your hands, pack approximately 1/2 cup spinach mixture on top of each salmon fillet, forming mixture to the shape of the fillet. Place fillets on a rimmed baking sheet or glass baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, until salmon is cooked through.

Average at best
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I made the recipe as per the recipe. Yes, the recipe is very dry. I have to agree that the spinich mixture is somewhat... bland. I had hoped for brighter taste in the spinach to play off of the salmon. I was hoping that additional salt an pepper would help. However, in the end the flavors were rather "muddled" in the spinach mixture resulting in something of a healthy filler. Not exactly what I was are looking for when looking for healthy food!Read more

Tasty and easy

Good flavor, although a little dry. I know this is more calories, but I think I will try cream cheese instead of ricotta on... the next go around.Read more

easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this tonight for a small dinner party using a 3lb filet of salmon instead of individual portions and it came out... beautifully. I added a little cream cheese to the spinach mixture to keep it moist while the salmon baked. Everyone loved it and it was so easy I could even make it for my family on a weeknight. I will definitely make this recipe again!Read more

Pretty Good

With a few adjustments, like lemon and more seasoning, this came out very good.

I made this for dinner this evening, and it was amazing. My husband, who never eats fish, does not even like the thought of... fish, asked me to do this dish again. It was very good, and tasty. I did not change a thing, it is perfect the way it is!Read more

We really liked all the flavors combined here. Frozen spinach can be kind of bland, so be sure to season with salt and pepper... to your liking (I usually use a little more than Ellie calls for). My husband normally does not care for salmon but he said I could make this one again. In addition to being delicious, it doesn't get much healthier...salmon and spinach are superfoods.Read more
