Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets skinless salmon each weighing about 6 oz
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Spinach
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
For the Topping
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese torn into pieces
For Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil for sautéing and drizzling
  • 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice to enhance flavor

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them generously with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  4. Spoon the sautéed spinach over each salmon fillet and top them with pieces of mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the mozzarella is bubbly and golden.
  6. Serve immediately, drizzling with additional lemon juice if desired.
