SALMONN FLORENTINE AND QUINOA PILAF WITH PINE NUTS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using your hands, squeeze the spinach of all excess liquid.(I used fresh spinach.) Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for approximately 15 minutes. Add the ricotta and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Using your hands, pack approximately 1/2 cup of the spinach mixture on top of each salmon fillet, forming a mixture to the shape of the fillet. Place the fillets on a rimmed baking sheet or in a glass baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through. Serve alongside the pilaf. Quinoa Preparation Put the broth and quinoa in a medium-size sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer, then cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the grain is tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a large dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove the nuts from the pan and set aside. Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. When the quinoa is done, fluff with a fork and transfer to a large serving bowl. Stir in the pine nuts, onions, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
