Healthy Salmon and Spinach Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 4 oz each)
• 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup scallions, sliced
• 1/2 cup non-fat cream cheese
• 1/4 cup non-fat half-and-half
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 avocado, halved
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Add the salmon to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped red bell pepper and scallions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
4. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
5. In a small bowl, mix the non-fat cream cheese, half-and-half, and Parmesan cheese until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and stir until heated through.
6. Serve the sautéed spinach and pepper mixture on a plate, topped with the salmon fillet. Drizzle with the creamy sauce.
7. On the side, serve half an avocado drizzled with balsamic vinegar and lemon wedges for garnish.
