  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon orange juice, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  3. Place salmon fillets in a large glass dish.

  5. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  6. In a separate small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 teaspoons McCormick Smoked Paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon grated orange peel, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
  7. Remove salmon from marinade and discard the marinade.
  8. Place salmon fillets in a greased foil-lined baking pan.
  9. Evenly rub the smoked paprika mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.

  13. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender.
  14. Serve the roasted salmon over the wilted spinach. Garnish with extra orange peel, if desired.
