Salmon With Cream Cheese, Spinach & Garlic
"What a delicious way to get your salmon and your veggies!!! It's quick and easy to put together and is truly gourmet. They'll think you did alot more in the kitchen than you actually did (it'll be our little secret). I designed this for 2 but you can easily double or even triple this yummy recipe for your family or guests."

- Ingredients:
- 11
- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet
- paprika
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced really fine
- 1⁄2 teaspoon parsley
- pepper (to your taste)
- 1⁄4 cup onion, chopped very fine
- fresh Baby Spinach
- olive oil
- garlic powder
- salt
directions
- Preheat oven to 400. Spray a 9x9 baking pan with olive oil. Place salmon fillets in pan. Sprinkle lightly with paprika.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley and a sprinkle of pepper. Spread this over the salmon fillets. (I usually micrwave this for 20 to 30 seconds to make it easier to spread).
- Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly over the cream cheese.
- Layer the baby spinach leaves evenly and neatly over the onions (I make 4 layers of leaves).
- Spray or drizzle the spinach leaves with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake 25-35 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. It takes a little longer than usual because of all the toppings.

Was easy to make!! only thing I would change is to lightly toss the spinach in the oil and seasonings they place them on the salmon. Got the two thumbs up from my 4.5yr old! -
This is one of our favorite salmon dishes. Delicious blend of flavors. Tempted to try it with goat cheese next time. -
I did not like this at all. The cream cheese went all over the place and the different flavors just didn't mix well. I do like smoked salmon with cream cheese as a breakfast option, and I pair salmon fillets with a variety of spinach dishes, but I guess I'll stick with the cold variety versus this one. -
Delicious! Quickly became a favourite in our home. -
this tasted amazing. I skipped on the paprika and used spring onion instead and it came out beautifully. i served with roasted sweet potatoes and buttery corn on the cob!

This was quite good! I did use garlic powder in the cream cheese spread and used a greek seasoning instead of the salt and pepper on the spinach, but it turned-out really well and was quite easy. My salmon was about 1-1/2 lbs so I 1-1/2 the sauce and had to substitute a little sour cream for some of the cream cheese because I ran out. Served mine with fresh peaches and cornbread. Yummy! Mine cooked about 28 minutes. I also cooked additional spinach on the side because we LOVE spinach. I served my husband, two sons, and I with 2 servings of leftovers for lunches tomorrow...I can't wait!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Realtor by day, Chef by night
Vineland, NJ
I'm a full-time Realtor for Century 21 Graham Realty during the day and at night I'm a wife and mother of one 6 year old daughter, Angelina plus one small dorkie dog (dachshund-yorkie mix) named Petey. I love to cook and experiment with new recipes. I've been collecting cookbooks (I have a few hundred) and recipes for as long as I can remember. I like to buy recipe boxes at yard sales and auctions and peak through them for yummy recipe gems. I've found some really amazing recipes that way. I'm a huge fan of Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware. I've been collecting different pieces for a few years now. I always considered myself a great cook but these pans raise things to a whole new level.
I'm planning to post all of my favorite recipes that I've collected over the years. I have all these clippings and pieces of paper and magazine clips that are everywhere. My recipe boxes are packed with these things and it's time to organize the whole mess. I suppose it will take years (did I say years?!?) to get them all posted but it's worth it. So keep checking back to my posts for new goodies. I can't wait to see what long lost gems turn up. I've already run across several of my old favs. Isn't it nice to have all your best recipes all organized right here? I've also been printing them out and putting them in a nice new binder where I can actually find them when I want to make them. I LOVE this site.
I have found some of the best recipes EVER right here on 'Zaar. There are some fantastic cooks here and I just want to say "Thank you" to all of you who have made me look like the greatest cook on the planet with your wonderful recipes. I try to make as many new ones each week as I can. It's so much fun experimenting. My DH of 9 years is my guinea pig- he will eat ANYTHING I put in front of him. My little girl... well, she's more of a challenge to please. Not really picky but she doesn't really like meat or stuffing or peppers or mushrooms or.... oh, the new one is onions. I could go on but you get the idea. You probably have or had one just like her. They seem to learn all about these things that they don't like at school. All of the sudden...they don't like something they've been eating for 3 years because their friend "Alyssa" doesn't like it. What a challenge it is feeding these little creatures! That's her and Petey in the picture above.
