Cooking Instructions
1.
Place the Fresh Baby Spinach (1 bunch) into a large microwave-proof casserole dish and cover with a glass top or plastic wrap to lock in the steam. Cook in the microwave for 2 minutes.
2.
Add the Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp) and Ground Nutmeg (as needed), and season to taste with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste). Set aside.
3.
Place the Salmon (1 lb) skin-side down into another microwave-proof casserole dish. Season with Garlic Powder (1 tsp), Salt (to taste), and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
4.
Brush each fillet with 2 Tbsp of the Basil Pesto (4 Tbsp). Cover the dish tightly with a glass top or plastic wrap to lock in the steam. Cook on Power 7 for 5 minutes.
5.
Check the center of the fish for doneness – it should flake apart easily when poked with a fork. If undercooked, continue to cook at 30-second intervals. Do not overcook fish. Let stand, covered, for 3 minutes before serving.
6.
Squeeze Lemons (to taste) over fish and garnish with Fresh Basil (to taste) if desired. Serve with spinach.
