Ingredients
- 1 pkg (700 g) Olivieri® Classic Skillet Gnocchi™
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) finely grated lemon zest
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
- 6 boneless, skinless salmon fillets (about 113 g each)
- 12 basil leaves
- 6 large thin slices of lemon, halved
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 tub (142 g) baby spinach (or 8 cups/2 L)
Instructions
Step 1
PREHEAT oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
WHISK 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil with lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside half of the mixture to use later.
Step 3
BRUSH the remaining lemon-oil mixture over the salmon. Top each fillet with two basil leaves and two lemon half-slices.
Step 4
BAKE on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10 minutes. Turn oven to broil and cook for two additional minutes or until the fish flakes when tested with a knife.
Step 5
HEAT remaining olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet set over medium heat.
Step 6
ADD Olivieri® Classic Skillet Gnocchi™ and sun-dried tomatoes; sauté for 5 minutes or until gnocchi are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 7
ADD spinach to skillet; cover and cook, occasionally stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until spinach is wilted.
Step 8
DRIZZLE reserved lemon oil over skillet mixture; gently toss to coat.
Step 9
DIVIDE salmon between plates and spoon gnocchi-spinach mixture alongside the fillets.
Tasty Tips:
Use the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar in the lemon-oil mixture for extra flavour.
It may seem like a lot of spinach, but it quickly wilts down. Baby spinach can be replaced with baby kale or arugula leaves.
For smaller households, use this recipe for a make-once, eat-twice option. Pack the extra salmon and gnocchi mixture in microwave-safe dishes to reheat for a tasty and nutritious hot lunch the next day.
