Heavy on the Cream Cheese, December 1, 2004 - 02:12 PM
Reviewer: Carol from Malaga,. Spàin
This is a recipe that looks the business, and is very easy to prepare, but tastes rather bland, mainly due to the cream cheese content. Try substituting one cup of whipped egg white in place of half the cheese. The flavous of the salmon then has a chance to dominate. Incidentally, you should season the spinach while cooking it with salt and pepper
