Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
MAKES: 2 servings

These moist salmon fillets are filled with spinach, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts. They're both pretty and delicious!

Ingredients:
• 2 thick-cut salmon fillets (5 ounces each)
• Dash salt and pepper
• 2 cups packed fresh baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon prepared pesto
• 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), chopped
• 1 tablespoon pine nuts

Directions:
1. Cut a horizontal pocket in each salmon fillet by slicing to within 1/2 in. of opposite side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the spinach, pesto, tomatoes and pine nuts. Spoon into each pocket.

2. Place salmon on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 12-15 minutes or until spinach mixture is heated through and fish flakes easily with a fork.
