Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger to make the glaze.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Step 3: Flip the salmon and brush the top with half the honey-soy glaze. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze thickens slightly.
Step 4: Remove salmon from the skillet and cover loosely with foil. Add 1 tbsp sesame oil to the same skillet, then add 6 cups baby spinach and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Step 5: Stir in 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions. Serve the glazed salmon over the sesame spinach stir fry immediately.
