Serves: 1 (with some leftovers). Time to make: 20-25mins.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup mashed cauliflower (or mashed or sliced potato, for those who prefer that instead). I steam it or microwave it if in a hurry and shove in my blender/food processor – easy as, with a light seasoning of pepper and a bit of salt to taste.
- 80g piece salmon
- Handful of baby spinach
- ¼ cup low-fat Greek yoghurt with 1 tsp crushed garlic stirred through (original recipe was for light sour cream, but I prefer the yoghurt)
- Sprinkling of parmesan cheese
Method
1. Heat oven to 180 deg C.
2. Place spinach in base of small baking tray and place salmon on top, skin up.
3. Lightly season w salt/pepper and pour garlic yoghurt mixture over all of it.
4. Sprinkle parmesan on (as much or little as you please, as it’s a strong flavour).
5. Cook until salmon is cooked (15-20 min) and parmesan looks golden.
6. Place on top of mashed cauliflower or vegies of your choice.
Note: If you're on the puree phase, this may be suitable towards the end. Make sure you don't overcook the salmon and you chew well before you swallow. See this post on the puree phase to remind yourself of what you should and shouldn't be eating.
