Author Stephanie Laska says, “The first time I had this dish, I was dining at the top of the Space Needle in Seattle. I’m slightly afraid of heights, but I forgot all about my fears when a gorgeous plate of spinach-stuffed salmon arrived at the table. Hello, beautiful! I spent the rest of the evening trying to figure out how I could make it myself when I got home from my trip without spending all day in the kitchen. When choosing your fillets for this dish, make sure they are thick enough to slice horizontally and allow for stuffing.”[Reprinted with permission from The Dirty, Lazy, Keto No Time to Cook Cookbook: 100 Easy Recipes to Save Money & Time by Stephanie Laska, MEd, and William Laska (Adams Media, 2021).]Click HERE to read our book review.
