Spinach-Stuffed Baked Salmon
Maintaining your budget and waistline

Ingredients:
Makes four servings 1 teaspoon olive oil 2 ounces fresh spinach leaves 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1/4 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers, rinsed and drained if bottled 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts Cooking spray 4 salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry with paper towels 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Instructions:
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the spinach and lemon zest for 2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted, stirring constantly. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in the bell peppers, basil and walnuts. Let cool for 5 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray. Cut a lengthwise slit in the side of each fillet to make a pocket for the stuffing; be careful to not cut through to the other side. With a spoon or your fingers, carefully stuff a scant 1/2 cup spinach mixture into each fillet. Transfer to the baking sheet. With a pastry brush or spoon, spread the mustard over the fish. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle over the fish. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and the filling is warmed through.
