Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (about half an orange), 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season 2 salmon fillets with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Place salmon on grill and cook for 4 minutes. Brush generously with half the orange glaze, flip, and cook another 4 minutes while brushing more glaze until salmon is cooked through and glaze caramelizes slightly.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cups baby spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted but still bright green.
  5. Step 5: Remove spinach from heat, sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, and toss gently.
  6. Step 6: Serve grilled salmon atop the sesame spinach, drizzling any remaining glaze over the top.
