Salmon Florentine

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Salmon Florentine | Jennifer CooksRemember that Creamed Spinach I posted a while back? Well, I put that recipe to work again with this Salmon Florentine. This is a very simple recipe for baked salmon that gives you another way to prepare it, and it's really elegant enough to serve to guests, but simple enough to have as a weeknight meal.

I'm trying to gear my personal eating to low carb these days to drop some weight that I desperately need to lose and this dish works perfectly for low carb or paleo diets (minus the Classic Risotto that it's sitting on).  I prepared the risotto for my family and had extra vegetables for myself. It's kind of hard being a food blogger and chef and then being on a diet – Ugh! But I have to get healthier!

One thing that I'll point out about this recipe is that I sear the salmon skin-side down in a skillet before I place it on the baking sheet. I do this step because I like the crunchy skin.

If you've purchased skinless salmon, or if you prefer not to eat the skin, then you can skip this step.Salmon Florentine | Jennifer Cooks

Prepare a recipe of my Creamed Spinach to top the salmon.

I topped off each portion of salmon with a combination of crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. If you're on a low carb diet, just skip that step on your portion.Salmon Florentine | Jennifer Cooks
