1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Cook spinach in large pot of boiling water just until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain and rinse with cold water. Squeeze out as much water as possible, then finely chop. Place in small bowl. Mix in cream cheese, mascarpone cheese and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Brush a baking dish with olive oil and place the salmon in it, skin side down. Spread the cheese and spinach mixture over the top of the salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. (This can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Remove from fridge 30 minutes prior to putting in oven).
Preheat oven to 450F/230 C Mix bread cubes, melted butter and grated cheese in medium bowl. Top salmon with bread mixture, pressing it into cheese to adhere.
