For an enhanced flavor profile, consider marinating the salmon in the honey-lemon glaze for at least 30 minutes prior to roasting. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of crushed red pepper. To toast pine nuts, spread them on a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant, shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). Grate the zest from the lemon, reserving it for later use. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into a small bowl. Add honey to the bowl with lemon juice and whisk well to combine. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)
02
StepLine a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle half of the honey-lemon mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated. (Prep Time: 3 minutes)
03
StepRoast the salmon in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fish is lightly browned and flakes easily with a fork. During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the salmon with the remaining honey-lemon glaze as needed to build up flavor. For a deeper, more caramelized glaze, broil on HIGH for the final 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. (Cook Time: 10-12 minutes)
04
StepWhile the salmon is roasting, heat corn oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced red onions and garlic and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic. (Cook Time: 3-5 minutes)
05
StepAdd the fresh baby spinach and dry white wine to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Continue to sauté until the spinach is wilted and most of the liquid has evaporated. This should take approximately 3-5 minutes. (Cook Time: 3-5 minutes)
06
StepStir in 1 teaspoon of the reserved lemon zest, crushed red pepper, and salt into the spinach mixture. Toss to combine all ingredients evenly. (Prep Time: 1 minute)
07
StepDivide the sautéed spinach evenly on top of the roasted salmon fillets. Sprinkle with chopped, toasted pine nuts for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Prep Time: 1 minute)
