CREAMY GARLIC, LEMON & SPINACH SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times each and microwave on high for 5 mins until soft (alternatively, bake for 35-40 mins). Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Heat half the oil in a frying pan and lightly brown the salmon on both sides - don't worry about it being cooked through at this point. Transfer the salmon to a plate, wipe out the pan and heat the remaining oil. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds, without letting it brown, then add the spinach, lemon zest and juice and some seasoning. Stir in the mascarpone and 2 tbsp of the milk and cook until the spinach has wilted.
• Tip the spinach mix into an ovenproof dish and top with the lemon slices and salmon fillets. Bake for 5-8 mins until the salmon is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, scoop the sweet potato flesh from the skins and mash with the remaining milk and some seasoning. Serve the sweet potato mash alongside the salmon and creamy spinach.

• Add cream cheese, half & half and parmesan cheese mix well until cream cheese is melted and resembles creamed spinach.
• Heat a separate skillet on medium high heat, add remaining oil and butter.
• Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper and place on the hot pan.
• Cook 6 minutes on first side and flip fish over and cook other side an additional 5 minutes, until cooked through and browned.
• Divide the spinach mixture on the bottom of each plate and top with piece of fish.

SALMON FLORENTINE

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion and 1/2 of the garlic, breaking onion into rings, until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add salmon to onion mixture and cook until salmon is about 1/4-cooked, about 2 minutes.
• Pour wine and cream over salmon and cook, stirring lightly and flipping salmon halfway through, until liquid is reduced by 1/2 and salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir remaining garlic until fragrant and golden, 1 to 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook until spinach is wilted, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Place spinach on 2 serving plates, making a well in the center of each. Arrange each salmon steak in the center of the well and pour sauce over each. Garnish salmon with onion.
