Stuffed Salmon

Ingredients
2 10 oz salmon fillets
1 shallot, chopped
¼ cup white wine
1 clove garlic, chopped
½ cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
10 oz fresh arugula
½ cup feta cheese
Zest of ½ lemon
Fresh basil
2 tbsp oil

Preparation
1. Place salmon fillets on cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the salmon through the center, just until the knife almost reaches the other side.

2. In a heavy skillet over medium heat, add the oil and sweat the shallots and garlic. Add tomatoes and cook for one minute. Add white wine and allow to reduce by half. Add arugula and cook for one minute. Remove from heat, add lemon zest, feta cheese and fresh spinach. Divide filling between salmon fillets. Season salmon with salt and pepper.

3. In another heavy skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Sear the salmon fillets for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a baking dish and place in a 350˚ F oven for 10 minutes, or until the flesh begins to flake.

4. Serve immediately with your choice of starch and vegetable.
