Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger until combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined sheet pan. Brush each fillet generously with the honey-soy glaze and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: While the salmon roasts, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 cups baby spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted but still vibrant green.
  4. Step 4: Remove skillet from heat and drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil over the spinach. Toss gently and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top.
  5. Step 5: Serve the roasted salmon over the sesame spinach with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
