Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet and drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over them, then season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 2 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3: Spoon the tomato and spinach mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the topping is slightly golden.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
