Materials
MANGO SAUCE
- 1 mango peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup yogurt plain, nonfat
- Juice of 1 lime
SPINACH-STUFFED SALMON
- 1 cup oyster mushrooms sliced, stalks removed
- 1 tablespoon shallots sliced
- 2 tablespoons garlic chopped
- 1 pound spinach fresh, chopped
- 4 4-ounce salmon fillets butterflied (cut crosswise and spread open flat)
- 1/4 cup pineapple sliced very thin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns ground
Instructions
- For the Mango Sauce: In a food processor, purée all ingredients until smooth. Chill. If desired, garnish your Mango Sauce with a little swirl of balsamic glaze.*
- In a large, hot nonstick skillet, sauté the mushrooms, shallots, and garlic until garlic is light brown. Add the spinach. Cook for 1 minute, and remove from heat.
- On one side of butterflied salmon, layer the pineapple slices and the spinach mixture. Close salmon, and dust with the paprika and pepper.
- Lay salmon fillets skin side up in a hot nonstick skillet. Sear for about 30 seconds, then cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Cover and lower heat. Cook until done, about 8 more minutes.
- Serve with seared side facing up, with Mango Sauce on the side.
Notes
* Balsamic vinegar can be easily transformed into a deliciously thick but completely fat-free glaze. Simply pour about a cup of balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow vinegar to simmer until it thickens and is reduced by half, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Store in the refrigerator in a lidded container.
