How to Make Baked Maple Glazed Salmon With Wilted Spinach
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- 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.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 minutes, or until slightly reduced and syrupy.
- Place two (6-ounce) salmon fillets on the prepared baking tray.
- Brush half of the maple glaze over the salmon fillets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through, brushing with the remaining glaze halfway through.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat.
- Add 5 ounces baby spinach and 1/2 cup sugar snap peas (optional). Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until wilted.
- Season spinach with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Divide the wilted spinach and salmon fillets among four serving plates. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the salmon.
