Spinach, Mushrooms and Salmon

Since our wedding, I have come home from work, tired enough to go to sleep and I have been finding posting, grading papers and even cooking, overwhelming.  Although, cooking is still therapeutic, if I don't fall asleep in one of the large pots.

I threw together some odds and ends from the refrigerator and ended up with  light meal.  This kind of a meal is easy to make and lends itself to interesting combinations, depending on what is in the refrigerator or cupboard.  The last ingredient, I added, was the Persian raisin which is a golden raisin but a little bigger.  I like them more than golden raisins.  I think, they are a bit chewier.

I had some cooked salmon, we brought back from the wedding dinner and decided to build on it.  I bad some Baby Bella mushrooms, spinach and the raising and throwing them together produced a super meal.

Spinach, Mushrooms and Salmon

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups cooked salmon, chopped into 1 inch chunks
2 cups of baby spinach
7 mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup raisins

Method:
 
 Heat olive oil in large skillet.  Add mushrooms and cook  about 4 minutes.  Add salmon pieces and cook for another 3 minutes. 

Add the raisins and cook for another minute until they are heated.

Add spinach, mixing it all together.  Cook for about 3 minutes until spinach starts to wilt.  Serve hot.

If you would prefer to serve this as a cold salad, just add spinach to mixture uncooked and serve cold.

I think sesame seeds or pine nuts would make a great addition.
