Ingredients 

Servings: 2 

• 2 salmon fillets, about 4 ounces each 
• 1 ounce spinach 
• 1/4 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers 
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped 
• 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts 
• 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil 
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest 
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (lowest sodium available) 
• 1 tablespoon plain dry bread crumbs (lowest sodium available) 
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled 
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
• Dash of pepper 

Directions 

1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Add the spinach and lemon zest and cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until the spinach is wilted. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the roasted peppers, basil, and walnuts. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. 

2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray. 

3. Cut a lengthwise slit in the side of each fillet to make a pocket for the stuffing. Be careful not to cut through to the other side. Stuff a scant 1/2 cup spinach mixture into each fillet. Transfer to the baking sheet. With a pastry brush or spoon, spread the mustard over the fish. 

4. Stir together the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Sprinkle over the fish. Lightly spray the top with cooking spray. 

5. Bake for 12 minutes or until the fish is the desired doneness and the filling is heated.
