Tuscan Salmon
Uield: 4 servings
"Tuscan salmon offers simple elegance with a Mediterranean feel. Fillets of salmon served over a bed of wilted spinach and topped with a savory grape sauce is a nutritious combination that will leave dinner guests wanting seconds -- without the guilt."
1 teaspoon each salt, ground mustard and dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
4 salmon steaks or fillets (6 oz. each)
2 teaspoons honey
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 quarts spinach leaves
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups halved red California seedless grapes
1/2 cup dry red wine (I used Cabernet Sauvignon)
salt (to taste)
Combine salt, mustard, thyme and pepper; mix well. Rub salmon fillets with honey and sprinkle with seasoning mixture; reserve any remaining seasoning mixture.
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in nonstick skillet. Brown both sides of salmon fillets.
Toss spinach and garlic with remaining teaspoon of oil in 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Place salmon on spinach, cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake at 300 Degrees F. for 10 minutes.
Saute grapes in skillet used to brown salmon. Add wine, bring to boil, season to taste with remaining seasoning mixture and salt; reduce by half.
Serve salmon on spinach; top with grape sauce.
Makes 4 servings.
I am trying out some recipes for my upcoming dinner and this is a WINNER. If you try it I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
