Ingredients

2 Kg. Wild caught Alaskan Silver (Coho) Salmon filet with skin on (no scales)
1 Kg. Organic fresh spinach (I live in Medellin, Colombia and the spinach is very dark and rich tasting. I've found most markets in the US sell watery, flavorless spinach so look for the best quality you can find.
500g Organic, fresh, Portobello mushrooms
¼ Cup Pine nuts
2 Medium sweet yellow onions
½ Cup Fresh Pineapple juice
½ Cup Fresh Orange juice
1 Lemon
1/3 Cup Sesame oil (very important to choose a dark, high quality, flavorful oil)
¼ Cup Lemon infused Organic extra virgin olive oil
1 Small black truffle
Spritz White Truffle oil
Sprinkle Fresh ground Black pepper, Thyme, Oregano
1/3 Cup Grated, fresh parmesan cheese
4 Cloves of fresh garlic
2 Cups Balsamic vinegar
2 Cups Red wine (Malbec or Shiraz works very well)
¼ Cup Braggs liquid amino
1/3 Cup Low sodium soy sauce
2 Tbs Flour or (Organic Kamut pancake mix works great)

Steps:

Rinse salmon filets. Filet the filet so as to create 3 or 4 very thin pieces. A good fish market will do this for you if you ask the butcher. Pat the filets dry with a paper towel so as to remove excess water. In Med. to Lrg. bowl combine the juices, then ½ of: the sesame oil, Braggs, soy sauce, and 2 cloves of minced garlic, ½ lemon juice, Thyme, Oregano, ½ of the Olive oil and pepper as desired. Mix ingr. then marinate the salmon in mix and place in the refrigerator for 20 - 30 min. Wash, chop and prepare the spinach and mushrooms. Grind ½ of the pine nuts to a fine consistency. Chop the onions and stir-fry until clear. Set ½ of onions aside. Add mushrooms, garlic, spinach and whole pine nuts to the fry pan and stir-fry until soft (brown the nuts). Do not over cook! Place each salmon fillet on a slightly oiled sheet of Aluminum foil and fill the fillets with the spinach and mushroom mixture. Roll the salmon fillets so that they are stuffed with the mixture when finished. Tightly wrap the salmon rolls with the aluminum paper. Add a second sheet of aluminum paper to the outside of the wrap. This helps the fish to cook more evenly. Cook salmon in oven at 250 degrees C (400 F) or use a BBQ on low to med-low heat. Cook for about 10 minutes but be cautious not to over cook. I live at 7,800' elevation so your cooking time may vary. Remove from foil and plate as desired. Drizzle glaze over plated fish or serve sauce as gravy at the table. Garnish with a pinch of grated truffle and a spritz of white truffle oil to the plated fish. Grate a bit of parmesan as garnish to fish if desired (this works well when added to steamed broccoli or asparagus.
