    Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Salmon Recipe

    Salmon is the kind of dish we love – it’s easy to find, easy to cook, and quick to prepare. We especially love when we take a traditional salmon recipe and find new ways to serve this protein.

    Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Salmon

    In this recipe, you’ll be taking simple salmon and stuffing them with an exquisite blend of spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, giving your fish a distinctive Italian twist. The end result is a delicious and intimate main course – as written, this will serve two, but you can easily scale up as needed.

    While the salmon might be the star of this dish, we love to talk about the health benefits of all ingredients, and this dish features one in particular – spinach.

    While spinach might be more of a main-stay of salad blends for non-Paleo eaters, a Paleo diet embraces spinach and utilizes it as often as possible in salads, main courses, and sides.

    Spinach is packed full of nutrients and Vitamins A, C, and K, and its tender texture makes it versatile enough to include in a variety of dishes. For this meal, seek out fresh, tender greens – the fresher, the tastier your meal will be!

    As the main course, this dish works best when accompanied by sides that complement the Mediterranean flavors (although we also like the idea of making this in advance and serving it on its own as a light lunch). If you are serving this for dinner, try serving it atop a dish of zoodles and with a side of Dijon and pecan asparagus.
