Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 minced garlic clove.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet and brush each with the citrus-honey glaze. Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: While salmon bakes, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 6 cups baby spinach and 1 tsp salt, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until spinach is wilted but still vibrant.
  5. Step 5: Remove spinach from heat, season with 1/2 tsp black pepper, and serve alongside the glazed salmon.
