This is one spectacular salmon dish! A whole salmon fillet is baked to perfection, then it's finished with a topping of spinach, mushrooms, garlic, shallots, white wine and half & half! It comes together quickly and you'll adore it! Salmon is so good for us and I'm sure this recipe will be a favorite!
