Place spinach in clean saucepan with 6 T unsalted butter. Chop 3 scallions, 1/2 C yellow onions, 1 C mushrooms; blend together and add to saucepan. Add basil, oregano, thyme and mix well. Saute over medium heat, stirring frequently. After 5 minutes, add 1/2 c parmesan. Stir over head for about 5 minutes until cheese melts and blends in. Combine with white sauce, taste for seasoning and cover. Refrigerate until it jells - between 2 and 4 hours. Cut a slit in the side of each fillet; leave 1/4" intact at each end. Squeeze lemon juice over each. Open each slit gently; place filling into cavity carefully. Place stuffed salmon into large shallow baking dish. Distribute evenly over the fillets 1/2 c of the seasoned bread crumbs. Drizzle with 1/2 c clarified butter.
