Steps:
- 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.

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.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a sharp knife to score the salmon fillets before baking.
- For a crispy crust, brush the salmon with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
- If you want to add more flavor to the filling, try adding some chopped herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives.
- To make the spinach filling ahead of time, simply sauté the spinach and onion, then let it cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
