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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Season the salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, and lemon juice to create the mustard glaze. Set aside.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve each salmon fillet over a bed of sautéed spinach. Drizzle any leftover mustard glaze from the pan over the salmon, if desired. Enjoy!
