Creamy Salmon Florentine Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spray salmon with olive oil and place in a baking dish. Season with sea salt, black pepper, basil, and 1 1/2 tablespoons crushed garlic.
• Combine cream, 12 spinach leaves, remaining crushed garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth and pour mixture over salmon in the baking dish. Cover with remaining spinach leaves and shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and salmon flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times each and microwave on high for 5 mins until soft (alternatively, bake for 35-40 mins). Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Heat half the oil in a frying pan and lightly brown the salmon on both sides - don't worry about it being cooked through at this point. Transfer the salmon to a plate, wipe out the pan and heat the remaining oil. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds, without letting it brown, then add the spinach, lemon zest and juice and some seasoning. Stir in the mascarpone and 2 tbsp of the milk and cook until the spinach has wilted.
• Tip the spinach mix into an ovenproof dish and top with the lemon slices and salmon fillets. Bake for 5-8 mins until the salmon is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, scoop the sweet potato flesh from the skins and mash with the remaining milk and some seasoning. Serve the sweet potato mash alongside the salmon and creamy spinach.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using your hands, squeeze spinach of all excess liquid.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook for 3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool approximately 10 minutes. Add ricotta and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
• Using your hands, pack approximately 1/2 cup spinach mixture on top of each salmon fillet, forming mixture to the shape of the fillet. Place fillets on a rimmed baking sheet or glass baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, until salmon is cooked through.

Steps:

• In a hot saute pan, add butter and as it begins to smoke, add salmon, spinach and shallots and cook on medium to low heat for 3 minutes.
• Flip salmon over and add heavy cream.
• Cover and reduce cream by half.
• In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs with mozzarella.
• When cream is reduced by half, after 8-10 minutes, salt and pepper salmon to taste.
• Remove salmon from pan and top with spinach, then with the crumb-cheese mixture.
• Put fish on broiler pan and reserve cream sauce.
• Place under boiler until the cheese is melted.
• Finish with the remaining cream sauce and serve.
