How to Make Baked Salmon With Mascarpone Spinach

1. Cook 10 oz fresh spinach in a large pot of boiling water until wilted, about 1 minute.
2. Drain the spinach and rinse under cold water. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible and finely chop.
3. In a small bowl, combine the chopped spinach with 4 oz cream cheese, 4 oz mascarpone cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
5. Brush a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place a 1.5 lb salmon fillet (whole or individual fillets) in the dish, skin-side down.
6. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.
7. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of bread cubes, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
8. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the salmon, pressing gently to adhere.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes for individual fillets or 25-30 minutes for a whole fillet, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
