Bacon-Wrapped Salmon Over Spinach

This dish is so easy. I am lucky the man in my life loves salmon. Of course, being a man, he also loves bacon. He adores this dish, and divas love adoring men. This recipe serves two. In the oven, the bacon bastes the salmon, so there is no need for a sauce.

Bacon-Wrapped Salmon Over Spinach

1 lb. of salmon fillet, cut into 3 or 4 pieces

3-4 slices of bacon (turkey bacon is fine)

salt & pepper

a couple of spoonfuls of Dijon or spicy brown mustard

1 large shallot (or a few slices of onion), chopped

2 glugs olive oil

1 bag fresh spinach, stems chopped off

Salt & pepper each fillet, then smear with a bit of mustard.
Wrap each piece of salmon fillet with a piece of bacon (tuck the ends underneath).
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes depending on the thickness of salmon (salmon should flake when done).
If needed, broil for 1 minute to finish cooking bacon.
Meanwhile, saute shallots in olive oil 3-5 minutes.
Add spinach and cook and stir for 1-2 minutes.
Serve salmon over spinach.
