Instructions

Step 1: Pat 2 salmon fillets dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Step 3: Flip the salmon and cook for 2 minutes more. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger. Pour this glaze over the salmon and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the fillets.
Step 5: While salmon cooks, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cups baby spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just wilted. Season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds.
Step 6: Plate the glazed salmon with the ginger sesame greens and spoon any extra glaze from the pan over the top.
