Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil or rapeseed oil
2 salmon fillets, skin removed
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
170g baby spinach
1 lemon, zested and ½ juiced, ½ thinly sliced
75g mascarpone
5 tbsp milk

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

Baked Salmon With Mascarpone Spinach image

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.

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup Philadelphia Cream Cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
salt and pepper, to taste
6 -8 salmon fillets, with skin about 1-inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 2/3 cups French bread, with crust cut into small cubes
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup pecorino cheese, freshly grated

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:

To ensure even cooking, use salmon fillets of similar thickness.
If you don't have mascarpone cheese, you can substitute cream cheese or ricotta cheese.
To make the spinach filling, you can use fresh or frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
You can add other ingredients to the spinach filling, such as chopped sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or feta cheese.
To prevent the salmon from drying out, baste it with melted butter or olive oil during baking.
Serve the baked salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Baked salmon stuffed with mascarpone and spinach is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its rich and flavorful filling, this salmon dish is sure to impress your guests.
