Salmon Florentine

If anyone is looking for a delicious dish for this evening - eat this! It's the perfect mix of veggies, fish AND wine :) Well almost...I prefer red, but cooking with white always brings out a nice flavor and I am not opposed to pairing a nice chardonnay with my meal. Especially, when having fish! I stole this little gem from CrossFit Santa Cruz Central and made it my own....check it out!

Recipe (Serves 2):

2 salmon filets

1 T olive oil

1/2 yellow onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 C sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil

9 oz. mushrooms, sliced (I used a mix from whole foods)

9 oz. baby spinach, fresh

1/4 C coconut milk

3 T white wine

spices: about 1/4 tsp. each!

sea salt (optional, I omitted)

pepper (fresh ground)

cayenne pepper

paprika

garlic powder (I omitted and used an extra clove of garlic

I also added a few handfuls of pine nuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a saute pan, heat olive oil, and saute onion... add garlic, and cook until translucent. Add sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms. Add a splash (about 3 T white wine), cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until mushrooms are soft and tender. Now add spinach and cook until wilted. Pour coconut milk over everything and mix well. Pour all ingredients onto a baking dish. Place salmon filets over top of spinach mixture and sprinkle with spices. Bake for 15 minutes.

Voila! Paleo Top Chef material :)
