You won’t believe how three ingredients can come together to make this amazing Baked Spinach Dip Salmon dinner recipe!

Hey, you guys! Are you ready for an easy dinner? This one is about as easy as they come, but it tastes like you are a culinary genius. All you need are three little ingredients: Salmon, potatoes, and spinach dip!

I just made this dish for the second time this morning for photos, and I’m so excited to have it again for dinner tonight. Maybe since dinner is done, I can work on putting up our Christmas decorations this evening. I have them all pulled out on the patio just waiting to spread some holiday cheer. Do you decorate for the holidays? We take the easy way out and use inflatables. I love them because they are easy to store but pop up to big, fun characters in an instant. I’ll show you a photo when I get them ready.

If you have a photo of your Christmas tree or outside decorations, I’d love to see it! You can post it to my Facebook page :)

One final note before I get to the recipe, you can make this with chicken too! I love salmon and other seafood, but I know it’s not for everyone. If you can’t find good fish, it’s too expensive, or you just don’t like it, try this with chicken breasts instead for a meal that’s perfect for you :)

This 3-ingredient dinner is so easy and tastes amazing!

Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

1 pound small potatoes halved or quartered
1 pound salmon fillets
16 ounces sour-cream based spinach dip

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place cut potatoes in an 8″ square baking dish, and microwave for five minutes.
Stir about half the container of spinach dip into the potatoes until they are well coated. Arrange the salmon fillets over the potatoes, and spread the remaining spinach dip evenly over the fish.
Cover pan with foil, and bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

The potatoes are cooked a bit in step one so they will be done at the same time as the fish. If you skip that step, your potatoes may still be too firm when the salmon is just right.

What a simple and tasty recipe! Will give it a try as a replacment for my tried & true parmesan, mayo, ground mustard and dill mixture. I thick slice some sweet onions, pre-roast (convection oven) in a bit of butter instead of the potatoes, layer the salmon on top and the spread over all.

Hi Andi! Thank you for this recipe. I’m excited to try it this weekend. It looks delicious. I’m even more excited, because my grocer is having a Sale on Salmon tomorrow! Can’t wait to make it! Have a Great weekend! :-)

I hope you liked how it turned out, Lillian. Thank you!

This recipe looks fantastic–easy and special enough for company! Thanks! m

Thank you so much, Melanie!

You said spinach dip so I came running!

I like the way you think, Dorothy :)

Thank you for this recipe. Perfect timing. I was looking for different ways to prepare Salmon. My daughter-in-law had just told me that her Mom puts Costco Artichoke & Jalapeno dip over Salmon & bakes it. I already bought that dip to try with salmon this week. I will use with your recipe & replace spinach dip with that. Next time I will make the spinach dip to make this recipe.

Oh my gosh I’m sure it tastes amazing with the artichoke jalapeno dip!! I would love that, but I was trying to make it a tad healthier since I think the Costco dip is cream cheese based. I bet your DIL’s version is so delicious! Thank you, Patti!

I love how flavorful and delicious this recipe is, while still being super easy! Thanks for sharing! :)

Thank you, Kristyn!

I’ve always wanted to put up inflatables!! It’s my dream to go all out when we have our own house!

I would like to do more but don’t have the skills or patience to light up the house. The inflatables are about as easy as it gets! The only challenge is that we get wind and rain this time of year, so I have to try to protect them from the storms. That’s always fun! ;) Thanks, Beth!

I am a total salmon lover! This looks delicious, and I totally wish I could have some right now!

Thanks, Megan! I’m a major salmon lover too!

this is so creative! I never thought to use dip as a sauce like that, especially for fish.

Thanks, Lauren!

Ok you have just taken my all time favorite dip and made it a scrumptious meal! We will definitely be having this for dinner soon.

I hope you love it, Chandra. Thank you!

Wow! This looks amazing! I have some salmon in the fridge that will work perfect for this!

Thank you, Heather! I hope you like it.
