Ingredients for Baked Maple Glazed Salmon With Wilted Spinach

  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • Garlic Clove
  • Two (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 ounces baby spinach

How to Make Baked Maple Glazed Salmon With Wilted Spinach

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 minutes, or until slightly reduced and syrupy.
  4. Place two (6-ounce) salmon fillets on the prepared baking tray.
  5. Brush half of the maple glaze over the salmon fillets.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through, brushing with the remaining glaze halfway through.
  7. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat.
  8. Add 5 ounces baby spinach and 1/2 cup sugar snap peas (optional). Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until wilted.
  9. Season spinach with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Divide the wilted spinach and salmon fillets among four serving plates. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the salmon.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
