Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in thawed and drained spinach, cooking for 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in ¼ cup of sour cream.
  3. Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F). Pat the salmon fillets dry, season with salt and pepper. Sear in a non-stick skillet for about 2 minutes on each side.
  4. In a greased baking dish, place the seared salmon fillets skin-side down. Spoon the creamy spinach mixture over each fillet and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily, and the mozzarella is golden.
  6. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with a fresh salad or whole grain.
