Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger until combined.
Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each fillet generously with the honey-soy mixture and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Step 4: While salmon bakes, heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 cups baby spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted and tender, seasoning with black pepper to taste.
Step 5: Serve the salmon atop the sesame sautéed spinach and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the top for a nutty crunch.
