  • 750 g salmon fillet or 4 frozen salmon fillets (without skin)
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Butter
  • 50 g Whipped cream
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. 1

    For the polenta, boil 450 ml of water, milk and 1⁄2 TL salt in a pot. Add polenta slowly while stirring and bring to the boil. Let it swell for 6-8 minutes at low heat while stirring continuously.

  2. 2

    Immediately spread on an oiled baking tray approx. 1 1⁄2 cm thick to form a rectangle (approx. 15 x 20 cm). Let it cool down.

  3. 3

    Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan. Sauté onion and garlic in it. Add the frozen spinach and about 100 ml water. Cover and let thaw at medium heat, stirring.

  4. 4

    Wash and halve the tomatoes. Add cream cheese and half the tomatoes to the spinach, bring to the boil and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Wash salmon fillet, dab dry (defrost frozen fillets) and cut into 4 pieces. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place in a large casserole dish. Spread spinach mixture on top.

  6. 6

    Mix the remaining tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of oil and a little salt and pepper. Arrange the tomatoes around the fish. Bake in a hot oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: see manufacturer) for 15-20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cut polenta into 4 pieces (see fig. 2). Heat butter in a large coated pan. Fry the polenta in it until golden brown on each side. Keep briefly warm. Pour the tomatoes into a pot together with the resulting roast stock.

  8. 8

    Add cream and bring to the boil briefly. Season to taste with balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Serve everything.
