I love those recipes where the whole meal cooks together in one pan or pot. This is also great with a crusty baguette dipped in the pan juices. Scramble recipe tester Nikki Wolf said, “This was one of my favorite meals I've made in a while! So simple to put together and yet it looks and tastes like it took some effort!”
1lb. salmon filletuse wild Alaskan salmon if possible
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
In a large measuring cup, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
Put the mushrooms and spinach in a metal roasting pan or rectangular baking dish.
Pour 3/4 of the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly.
Put the salmon on top of the vegetables and pour the remaining dressing over it. Roast it for 12 – 15 minutes until the fish is just cooked through. Cut the salmon into 4 pieces and serve it immediately over the spinach and mushrooms.
Slow Cooker Directions
Cut the salmon to fit in the slow cooker, if needed. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Put the mushrooms and spinach in the slow cooker and pour 3/4 of the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly. Put the salmon on top of the vegetables and pour the remaining dressing over it. Cook on low for 5 - 6 hours, or on high for 3 - 4 hours. (Slow cooker cooking times may vary—Get to know your slow cooker and, if necessary, adjust cooking times accordingly.)
Notes
Do Ahead or Delegate: Peel the garlic, make the marinade, slice the mushrooms.Scramble Flavor Booster: Double the garlic and serve the salmon with plenty of freshly ground pepper.Tip: Reach for vinegar! Vinegars have been found to be high in both antioxidants and antimicrobial properties. (Antimicrobials slow the spread of bacteria and viruses.) Adding a drizzle of vinegar to your dish can accentuate the flavor of the food with no added sodium or calories.Nutritional Information Per Serving (% based upon daily values): Calories 324, Total Fat: 21g, 32.5%; Saturated Fat: 3g, 15.5%; Cholesterol: 63mg, 21%; Sodium: 406mg, 17%; Total Carbohydrate: 8g, 2.5%; Dietary Fiber: 3g, 9%; Sugar: 4g; Protein: 26gLike this recipe?
