Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times each and microwave on high for 5 mins until soft (alternatively, bake for 35-40 mins). Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Heat half the oil in a frying pan and lightly brown the salmon on both sides - don't worry about it being cooked through at this point. Transfer the salmon to a plate, wipe out the pan and heat the remaining oil. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds, without letting it brown, then add the spinach, lemon zest and juice and some seasoning. Stir in the mascarpone and 2 tbsp of the milk and cook until the spinach has wilted.
- Tip the spinach mix into an ovenproof dish and top with the lemon slices and salmon fillets. Bake for 5-8 mins until the salmon is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, scoop the sweet potato flesh from the skins and mash with the remaining milk and some seasoning. Serve the sweet potato mash alongside the salmon and creamy spinach.

BAKED SALMON WITH MASCARPONE SPINACH
I got this recipe from the magazine, Bon Appetit a couple of years ago. The first time I made it, we were hooked! Mascarpone is an Italian cream cheese that can be found in many grocery stores and Italian markets. This recipe calls for salmon fillets but I found it easier to use the whole fillet and then cut it after cooking. Increase the cooking time to 25-30 minutes if using the whole fillet. And use fresh grated cheese...not that stuff in a canister that you find on the grocery shelf.

Steps:
- Cook spinach in large pot of boiling water just until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain and rinse with cold water. Squeeze out as much water as possible, then finely chop. Place in small bowl. Mix in cream cheese, mascarpone cheese and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Brush a baking dish with olive oil and place the salmon in it, skin side down. Spread the cheese and spinach mixture over the top of the salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. (This can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Remove from fridge 30 minutes prior to putting in oven).
- Preheat oven to 450F/230°C Mix bread cubes, melted butter and grated cheese in medium bowl. Top salmon with bread mixture, pressing it into cheese to adhere.
- Bake salmon until opaque in center about 12-15 minutes if using single fillets or 25-30 minutes if using whole fillet.

Tips:
