Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a generous splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they turn translucent and fragrant. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  2. Mix in your thawed and well-drained spinach. Stir for approximately 2-3 minutes until well combined with onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then fold in the sour cream.
  3. Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F). Pat your salmon fillet dry and slice into portions. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for about 2 minutes on each side.
  4. Grease a baking dish with olive oil. Place the seared salmon skin-side down and spread the creamy spinach mixture on top. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the salmon.
  5. Transfer the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flaky and the cheese is golden brown.
  6. Allow the dish to rest before serving. Enjoy your Irresistible Baked Salmon with Spinach and Mozzarella Bliss hot.
