A good quality fresh wild salmon is treat, not only is it nutritious but delicious and sustainable. We are lucky here in Northern California to have access to really good salmon from Alaska and locally caught on the American River specially in the warmer months. I really think good salmon doesn&#8217;t need a whole lot of seasoning to make it delicious. This recipe has lots of spinach, sun dried tomatoes, basil pesto, a little cheese stuffed in the cavity of the fillet and baked It has an Italian-Mediterranean vibe and perfect for warm summer nights with a chilled Rose. I like an extra spark so I topped it with caramelized onions+ lemon zest for some extra zing, makes a delicious weeknight meal. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter

moisture has evaporated. <\/li><li>In a bowl stir together the basil pesto, cheese, chopped spinach and chili flakes.
