In a skillet, saute celery and ionion in butter until tender. Remove from heat: add bread, spinach, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Combine oil and remaining salt: rub over salmon skin. Place one fillet, skin side down, in a greased roasting pan. Top with stuffing. Place second fillet over stuffing skin side up. Tie with string if desired. Dissolve bouillon in water; pour around salmon. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. In a saucepan, combine first five sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil; boil for 5 minutes or until sauce is reduced to ½ cup. Discard onions. Add cream; return to a boil. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, until sauce thickens slightly. Serve with the salmon. Yield: 8-10 servings.
