Ingredients

Serves

2 salmon filets (skinless, 4-6 oz each)
5 oz baby spinach
3 tbsp honey
½ lemon, juiced
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 clove garlic, grated or minced
¼ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper

Steps

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the spinach in a Pyrex dish. The spinach will wilt significantly as it cooks, so use a lot more than you would expect.
Drizzle half of the olive oil on the spinach, then add the garlic. Mix the spinach with the olive oil and garlic until thoroughly combined, and spread the spinach into an even layer in the Pyrex dish.
To make the glaze, whisk the lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, and remaining olive oil in a small bowl.
Place the salmon filets on top of the spinach, then pour glaze over the salmon filets. Season the filets with salt and pepper.
Place the Pyrex dish into the oven, and cook for ~15 minutes, until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 125°F. Then set the oven to broil on high for 3-5 minutes, until the salmon is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
