How to Make Santa Fe Salmon With Fresh Spinach Wild Rice

  1. Preheat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes.
  2. While the pan is heating, prepare the Santa Fe salmon: Cut 1 lb salmon fillet into 4 equal servings.
  3. Season each salmon serving generously with salt and pepper.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes and 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Mix well.
  5. Using tongs, coat both sides of each salmon serving with the tomato mixture.
  6. Place the salmon in the preheated sauté pan.
  7. Add the remaining tomato mixture to the pan.
  8. Cover the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145°F. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  9. While the salmon cooks, prepare the spinach and wild rice: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 5 oz fresh spinach, 1 tbsp butter, and 1 cup wild rice.
  10. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
  11. Stir the mixture, then microwave for an additional 4 minutes.
  12. Let stand for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional).
  13. Serve the Santa Fe salmon immediately alongside the spinach and wild rice.
