Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 10 cups fresh baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Season the salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, and lemon juice to create the mustard glaze. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side down if applicable, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Transfer the salmon to the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the mustard glaze. Top each fillet with a lemon slice.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, make the sautéed spinach. Wipe the skillet clean, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach in batches, tossing gently as it wilts. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Serve each salmon fillet over a bed of sautéed spinach. Drizzle any leftover mustard glaze from the pan over the salmon, if desired. Enjoy!
