Salmon with Spinach Sauce

This is what I cooked for iftar last week, and hubby was impressed!

2 pieces of salmon
A dash of salt
A dash of black pepper

One small bunch of spinach
1 tablespoon of butter
Half cube of chicken stock
1 cup of water
1 tablespoon of corn flour diluted in small amount of water
1/2 cup plain yogurt


For the salmon:

Sprinkle a dash of salt and black pepper on both sides of the salmon. Pan-fry in a skillet with olive oil. Do not flip the salmon until cooked on one side.

For the spinach sauce:

Melt the butter in a pan and add the spinach until blanched. Add chicken stock with 1 cup of water. Simmer to reduce to amount of liquid to half. Then add plain yogurt. Blend the sauce into a food processor, then pour the liquid into a sauce pan and simmer. Add corn flour as a thickener.

Voila!

Actually the real recipe was to use half of a lemon on the salmon, but I forgot :P. So the slight improvisation was to clean the salmon with some tamarind paste so it won't be too fishy.
