Recipe from the back of a Trader Joe’s salmon package

Serves 2 very hungry people

Ingredients:

1 16-oz package of frozen chopped spinach
2 c half and half
3 T soy sauce
2 t Dijon mustard
½ t ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste

Methodology:

Combine all ingredients but salmon in a 12” skillet, stir well.  Place the salmon atop the spinach mixture, skin down.  Cook at a slow simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.  Periodically spoon spinach and cream over fish while it’s cooking.
