Ingredients

  • 650 g salmon, boneless fillets
  • 225 ml mayonnaise or sour cream
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) green pesto or red pesto
  • 175 ml (60 g) shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 450 g (3.5 liters) fresh spinach
  • 30 g butter or olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Grease a baking dish with half of the butter or oil. Salt and pepper the salmon fillets and place them in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down.
  3. Mix mayonnaise, pesto and parmesan cheese and spread over the salmon.
  4. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon is done and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Meanwhile, sauté the spinach in remaining butter or oil until it’s wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve immediately with the oven-baked salmon.
