BAKED SALMON WITH
HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE
ACTIVE: 30 min l TOTAL: 30 min l SERVES: 4
Cooking spray
4 6- to 7-ounce skin-on salmon fillets
½ cup low-fat mayonnaise
¼ cup dijon mustard
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives,
plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
- Preheat the oven to 375 ̊. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with
cooking spray. Lay the salmon skin-side down on top. Set aside. - Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, chives and a pinch each of salt
and white pepper in a medium bowl and stir to thoroughly combine. Remove
half of the sauce to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Season the
salmon with salt and white pepper and spoon the remaining sauce over the
fish, spreading it evenly all over the top and sides of each fillet. - Roast just until the fish is opaque in the center, about 7 minutes. Switch
to the broiler setting. Broil the fish until browning in spots, 6 to 8 minutes.
(Keep your eye on it to avoid burning.) Garnish with chives and serve with
the reserved sauce.
SAUTÉED SPINACH
AND MUSHROOMS
ACTIVE: 25 min l TOTAL: 25 min l SERVES: 4
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
10 ounces baby spinach
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (optional)
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low
heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about
2 minutes (do not let the garlic brown). Push the garlic
off to the side of the pan and add the mushrooms.
Increase the heat to medium high and season the
mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Cook,
stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender
and begin to become golden in spots, 10 to 12 minutes. - Add the spinach, sprinkle with an additional pinch of
salt and turn with tongs until wilted. (If you can’t fit all
the spinach in the pan, cover it for a few minutes, then
uncover, stir and add the rest.) Transfer to a serving
platter, drizzle with the vinegar, if using, and serve warm.
