7 1/2 T unsalted butter

3/4 c milk room temperature
2 T sherry
10 oz. fresh spinach
3 scallions
1/2 c yellow onions
1 c mushrooms
1 t dried sweet basil
1 t dried oregano

2 bunches parsley
1/2 clove garlic

  • Heat 1 1/2 T unsalted butter in saucepan; sprinkle 2T flour over it. Cook flour-butter mixture until it loses its starchy flavor - 3-5 minutes. Add 3/4 C milk, seasoned with salt, white pepper to taste. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly. Once the sauce becomes thick and smooth (about 1 minute), add 2 T sherry, stir and set aside. Chop spinach. Blanch by placing in a colander placed in a pot. Pour boiling water over and let stand in the water for 1 1/2 minutes. Drain well. Place spinach in clean saucepan with 6 T unsalted butter. Chop 3 scallions, 1/2 C yellow onions, 1 C mushrooms; blend together and add to saucepan. Add basil, oregano, thyme and mix well. Saute over medium heat, stirring frequently. After 5 minutes, add 1/2 c parmesan. Stir over head for about 5 minutes until cheese melts and blends in. Combine with white sauce, taste for seasoning and cover. Refrigerate until it jells - between 2 and 4 hours. Cut a slit in the side of each fillet; leave 1/4" intact at each end. Squeeze lemon juice over each. Open each slit gently; place filling into cavity carefully. Place stuffed salmon into large shallow baking dish. Distribute evenly over the fillets 1/2 c of the seasoned bread crumbs. Drizzle with 1/2 c clarified butter. Cover bottom of pan with 1/2 c white wine; bake @ 425 for 10-15 minutes until salmon is flaky. Serve with garnish of lemon slice and parsley. For roux, melt /2 c butter in saucepan until it is totally rendered and starts to bubble. Add 3/4 c flour slowly and cook on low heat 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly. Don't add flour before butter is bubbling. Seasoned bread crumbs: Combine stale bread, parsley, garlic, 1 T parmesan, dash tabasco in food processor and process until finely ground.
