How to Make Roasted Salmon With Lemon Relish

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Spread 1/4 cup pine nuts on a baking sheet. Toast for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning. Set aside.
  3. Place 1/4 cup raisins in a small bowl.
  4. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from 1 lemon in thin strips. Finely julienne the zest.
  5. Add the lemon zest to the bowl with the raisins and cover with 1/2 cup boiling water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  6. Place 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Season salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Roast salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Drain the water from the raisin mixture.
  10. Add the toasted pine nuts to the raisins and lemon zest.
  11. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  12. Divide 1 cup baby spinach amongst 4 plates.
  13. Top each serving of spinach with a salmon fillet and spoon the lemon relish over the top.
