This delicious Stuffed Salmon with Goat Cheese, Spinach & Sundried Tomatoes recipe is a heart-healthy, nutrient-dense meal. Salmon provides omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and support heart health. Spinach adds iron, magnesium, and vitamin K for circulation and bone strength, while sundried tomatoes offer antioxidants and potassium to protect against cardiovascular disease. Goat cheese delivers calcium and probiotics for digestion and bone health, and roasted garlic helps regulate cholesterol. Delicious and nourishing, this dish is a perfect blend of flavor and wellness!
Ingredients (Organic/Biodynamic)
- 2 salmon fillets (or another deep-water, line-caught fish)
- 3 oz. goat cheese, softened
- 6 oz. fresh spinach, chopped
- ¼ c. sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2-3 cloves of roasted garlic*
- Celtic Sea Salt® and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 420°F.
- In a large pot, add ¼ cup of water and spinach over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes until spinach is cooked. Drain the spinach in a colander and let it cool. Set aside.
- Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish made of glass or ceramic. Using a sharp knife, slice down the center of each fillet, cutting all the way to the skin but not through it. If the fillets are skinless, cut about ¾ of the way through. Sprinkle with Celtic Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, sundried tomatoes, softened goat cheese, and 2-3 cloves of the roasted garlic. Stir until well mixed.
- Evenly divide the filling between the fillets, and stuff the salmon. Layer any extra on top.
- Place the stuffed salmon in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after baking, then serve warm.
