Instructions

Step 1: Season 2 salmon fillets with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly on both sides.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 5 minutes until skin is crisp.
Step 3: Flip the salmon and add 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp soy sauce around the fillets. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, spooning the glaze over salmon until cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Remove salmon and keep warm. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil and 4 cups baby spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted but bright green.
Step 5: Plate salmon over the sautéed spinach and garnish with 1 tsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving.
