Grilled Salmon With Spinach

Grilled Salmon With Spinach is a delightful and nutritious dish that combines the rich flavors of perfectly grilled salmon with the fresh, earthy taste of sautéed spinach. This dish isn’t only visually appealing, with the vibrant green of the spinach complementing the pinkish hue of the salmon, but it’s also packed with nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.

Whether you’re preparing a family dinner or hosting a small gathering, this dish is sure to impress your guests with its taste and health benefits.

The preparation of this dish involves marinating the salmon to infuse it with aromatic herbs and spices before grilling it to perfection. Meanwhile, the spinach is lightly sautéed with garlic to enhance its flavor without overpowering the delicate taste of the salmon. The combination of these two main ingredients creates a harmonious blend of flavors that’s both satisfying and invigorating. The following recipe serves 4-6 people, making it ideal for a medium-sized group.

Ingredients:

4-6 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound fresh spinach
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure they’re well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the salmon.
Preheat the Grill: While the salmon is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F). This will guarantee the salmon cooks evenly and develops a nice char.
Grill the Salmon: Once the grill is hot, remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it can become dry.
Sauté the Spinach: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted and tender, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper, and stir in the Parmesan cheese, if using, for added flavor.
Serve: Arrange the sautéed spinach on a serving platter and place the grilled salmon fillets on top. Garnish with lemon wedges or fresh herbs, if desired.

Extra Tips:

When grilling salmon, it’s important to oil the grill grates or the skin of the salmon to prevent sticking. If you’re using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed for consistent heat.

For an extra punch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the marinade. Finally, if you’re short on time, you can skip the marinating step, although it does enhance the overall taste of the dish.

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will guarantee that your salmon cooks evenly and thoroughly.
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit horizontally along one side of each fillet to create a pocket for the stuffing.
Stuff the Salmon: Spoon the creamy spinach mixture into the pocket of each salmon fillet. Be generous with the filling, guaranteeing each fillet is well-stuffed but not overflowing.
Sear the Salmon: Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the stuffed salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Bake the Salmon: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.

Extra Tips: For an added layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spinach mixture for a subtle kick. If you prefer a different cheese, feta or goat cheese can be used as alternatives to Parmesan.

Make sure to not overstuff the salmon fillets to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking. If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the seared salmon to a baking dish before placing it in the oven. Enjoy this dish with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.

Finish and Serve: Once the omelette is cooked to your liking, carefully slide it onto a serving plate. Garnish with fresh dill or chives if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

Extra Tips:

For a fluffier omelette, make sure the eggs are whisked thoroughly to incorporate air into the mixture. If you prefer a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of milk.

When cooking the omelette, keep the heat at medium to prevent the eggs from browning too quickly. If you want to add more veggies, mushrooms or bell peppers can be a great addition. Finally, make certain your skillet is well-heated before adding the eggs to guarantee even cooking and easier flipping.
