HONEY LEMON GLAZED SALMON WITH SPINACH SAUTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grate zest from lemon; set aside. Squeeze 1 tablespoon lemon juice into a small bowl. Add honey and mix well. Line a baking sheet with foil; spray foil with cooking spray. Place salmon fillets on baking sheet. Generously season with black pepper. Drizzle with half of the honey mixture. Roast salmon for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish is lightly browned and flakes easily. Brush on remaining glaze as needed. For a browner glaze, broil on HIGH the last few minutes of cooking.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and saute 3 to 5 minutes. Add spinach and white wine. Continue to saute until spinach is wilted and most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon zest, crushed red pepper and salt. Divide spinach evenly on top of salmon fillets; sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve immediately.

SPICE CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Spread the spice mix on a plate and stir to mix.
• Toss egg mixture together.
• Dip the salmon fillets in the egg mixture and then in the spices.
• Heat enough olive oil to coat bottom of a large pan until the olive oil begins to ripple. Cook the salmon 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat (about 8 minutes per inch of thickness).
• Remove salmon to a serving dish and kept warm. Discard the oil, add the balsamic to the pan.
• Swirl around over high heat to pick up the salmon flavors. Reduce the liquid by half. On low heat, add the honey, butter and swirl. The consistency of the sauce should thicken slightly. Don't boil it. When the honey and butter is completely mixed, add in the chopped dill and pour over the salmon. Or pour on plate and place salmon on glaze. Garnish with nuts. Serve immediately.
