Salmon
An oven-cooked salmon in cheese and spinach sauce recipe that I learned from my grandmother which she (almost) always makes whenever I come visit.
ingredients
2-4 persons (depends on how much you eat, I eat for 3 people)
- 500g Salmon fillets or a hole piece, doesn't matter.
- 300g Hole leaf spinach, frozen or fresh. If it's frozen, remove the excess water when its' drying.
- 25g Butter.
- 1-2dl milk, depending on how thick you want the sauce.
- 1/2tsp sugar.
- 80g Melted cream cheese depending on how thick you want the sauce if it contains sugar, skip the sugar ingredient.
- ~ salt and pepper of course
Directions
if the spinach hasn't dried up, you should do that beforehand, and dry it
- Rinse the salmon fillet(s). If you have 1 piece, cut it to strips of fillets.
- Put either baking paper in the baking dish or rub the insides of it with oil.
- Chop some of the spinach into smaller pieces (not grinded, just a little bit smaller).
- Use plenty of salt and pepper on the salmon (optionally add some lemon juice before adding salt & pepper)
- Add the butter to a pot and heat it.
- Add the spinach to said pot.
- Heat the cream cheese (not too much, otherwise it gets runny!)
- Add the melted cream cheese, milk, sugar, and salt & pepper to the pot.
- Once it has been mixed well together and further heated, add it to the baking dish ontop of the salmon.
- Give that badboy a tour in the oven for 30-45min. at 200° celcius.
