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.

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:

  • 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.
