Lemon Herbed Salmon with Garlicky Spinach

This salmon dish is packed with vitamins and antioxidants … and it tastes great, too! Perfect for dinner guests, but simple enough for weeknights.

Ingredients

For the salmon:

  • 1 ½ pounds salmon fillets, cut into 6 (4-ounce) fillets
  • ¼ teaspoon Lunds & Byerlys Sea Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons California Olive Ranch Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 2 teaspoons raw organic honey
  • 2 tablespoons scallions (white and green parts), minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

For the greens:

  • 8 cups baby organic spinach, tightly packed
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, slivered
  • 2 tablespoons California Olive Ranch Olive Oil
  • ¼ teaspoon Lunds & Byerlys Sea Salt

Directions

  1. To prepare the salmon, heat the oven to 375 F. Lightly oil a baking pan and place the salmon fillets in baking pan skin-side down. Salt and pepper each salmon fillet.
  2. Whisk together the olive oil, honey and lemon juice; stir into this mixture the scallions, dill and parsley.
  3. Smear herb mixture over each salmon fillet. Roast salmon for 15-17 minutes.
  4. To prepare the greens, while the salmon is in the oven, place a large shallow pan over medium heat and add garlic slivers and olive oil.
  5. Once garlic starts frying, let cook for 30 seconds and then add spinach (in batches if too much for the pan) and salt and turn heat up to medium high.
  6. Cook spinach, stirring and turning it over constantly (adding more spinach once enough has wilted to provide room in pan), for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  7. Divide spinach into 6 portions and serve salmon fillets over spinach.
