Salmon Fillets with Spinach

Salmon fillet with spinach, pesto, sun dried tomatoes and pine kernels (if you want). Tasty! says Pixi. And a slim GI South Beach diet recipe. For 4 persons you'll need:

4 fillets of salmon à 150 gr
a pinch of salt
a pinch of black pepper, freshly ground
300 gr small spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp ready-made pesto
1 tbsp sun dried tomatoes, chopped
(1 tbsp pine kernels, chopped)

1. Heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
2. Make a cut in the center of all 4 salmon fillets - through approx two thirds of the fillets. Spice them with salt and pepper.
3. Mix spinach, pesto, tomatoes (and the pine kernels) in a bowl. Portion out the mixture on the fillets and press it in, in the cuts.
4. Place the fillets on a oven sheet covered with oven paper and bake them in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes or until the spinach is hot.

Serve the salmon fillets with oven baked vegetables and a salad.
And this is a recipe from phase 2 of the South Beach diet.
