Heart-healthy, Fast & Delicious Roast Salmon

Spinach-stuffed Salmon

Pair with Carica “Siren” Red Blend or Chardonnay

2 cups finely chopped fresh spinach

3 tablespoons light mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Panko breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/8 teaspoon salt

4 (5-ounce) thick, center-cut, skin-on salmon fillets

 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl, combine first 6 ingredients (spinach through salt).

2. Cut a slit lengthwise along the top of each piece of salmon, taking care to not cut completely through. Pull sides apart and spoon 3 tablespoons of the spinach mixture into the middle of the slit, and smooth the filling into a mound.

 3. Transfer fillets to the baking sheet, and bake for 17 minutes, or until the center of the fillet is cooked through. Use a spatula to remove the skin before serving.  Makes 4 servings.
