For the sides:
2 Tbs. light olive oil
1 small spaghetti squash
2 cups spinach, chopped
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 375° F.
-
Poke holes on the surface of the spaghetti squash. Place it in a casserole dish and put it in a microwave for 5 minutes to soften the skin.
-
Cut the ends of the spaghetti squash and then in half long ways. If it’s too hot use an oven mitt or towel. Remove seeds. Pour water up to 1-inch into the casserole dish. Put one half, cut-side down, into the dish. Microwave for 5 minutes. Repeat with the second half.
-
On a foil-lined baking sheet, drizzle some olive oil and place the salmon skin-side down.
-
Mix the yogurt, dijon mustard, and lemon juice together. Spread evenly on each piece of salmon. Bake for 25 minutes.
-
When the spaghetti squash is done being microwaved, put the halves into a bowl and let it cool down to the touch. Take a fork and scrape the strands out.
-
In a large saute pan on medium heat, pour in light olive oil. When oil shimmers, put the spinach in and stir until wilted.
-
To serve, make a bed of spaghetti squash, salt and pepper, and spinach. Take a spatula and carefully lift the salmon off the skin and top off the dish.
