30 Minute Dill-Baked Salmon Recipe

July 14, 2010

YIELD: 2 servings

This was very good.

I need to give the sauteed spinach another try – following the original directions, the spinach got way overcooked & slimy. It had good flavor though & if you ate a piece of Salmon with some spinach, it wasn’t too bad.

ZONE INFO: This is really just a protein dish, there isn’t enough veggies to even count as one carb & I split the greens for 2 servings.

Ingredients

SALMON:
2 - 4	- 6 oz. Salmon fillets
½	teaspoon salt
¼	teaspoon pepper
2	tablespoons lemon juice
1	tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
4	lemon slices
GREENS:
3	Shallots, chopped
1	garlic clove, chopped
2	tablespoons olive oil
	2 - 10 oz. packages fresh spinach
2	cups lightly packed basil
¼	cup broth or stock

Directions

Place salmon fillets on baking pan. Mix salt and pepper; sprinkle 1/2 over fish with lemon juice & dill (reserve second 1/2 of salt & pepper for greens). Top with lemon slices. Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Saute shallots and garlic in olive oil for a few minutes. Add fresh spinach & basil; cook for a few minutes, just until spinach wilts. Add remaining salt and pepper mixture and broth or stock, boil for a few minutes.

NOTE: not sure about cooking times for greens. Also, may not want to add the broth or stock – this may make spinach slimy?
