I discovered this recipe a number of years ago at Kraft. It has become one of my husbands favorites. I marinate the salmon in the dressing for about an hour before cooking. I also use any brand of sundried tomato vinagrette dressing that is available at my local market. I usually do not serve anything else with it as the spinach tomatos and mushrooms make it a filling dish.
4 salmon fillets (1 lb.)
2 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tomato, chopped
1/3 cup KRAFT Sun Dried Tomato Vinaigrette Dressing
Make It

HEAT oven to 375°F.

PLACE fish fillets, skin-sides down, in 13×9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.

COMBINE remaining ingredients; spoon over fish.

BAKE 20 to 25 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork.

   The other day I was looking for a different way to make salmon.   We have plenty recipes that I use regularly for salmon.   My husband stumbled across the recipe for Thai Barbecued Salmon.   For the benefit of those who do not subscribe to the magazine I will post the recipe here as well.   It was so easy to make and very tasty.   I am posting the recipe as is but letting you know that I chose to use flat leaf parsley in place of cilantro.  Not really a fan of cilantro.  Other than the minor change I made I would still recommend this recipe and will absolutely without a doubt make it again.   It was not as spicy as I thought it would be.   I am thinking if you want it spicier then you can adjust the amount of Thai chili sauce that it calls for.

I know it has been awhile since I posted a recipe.  I am always on the lookout for easy salmon recipes.  It does not get any easier than this one. I discovered this one a few months ago in one of my many cooking magazines.  In fact I am making it for dinner tonight.  I have modified the recipe to mine and my hubby’s taste.   I season the fish with a salt free garlic herb seasoning before broiling and I use garlic herb feta in place of the plain feta cheese.  Still makes for a tasty recipe.
