Roasted Orange Salmon with
Garlicky Greens
Salmon fillets drenched in an orange marinade and roasted
taste fantastic and provide metabolism-boosting omega-3
fats. Served over spinach, all this dish needs is some
quinoa or brown rice to make it a complete meal.
Serves 4
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (about 1 orange)
1/4 cup low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
4 6-ounce salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
2 teaspoons olive oil
6-8 cloves garlic, minced
2 10-ounce packages fresh spinach
Salt, to taste
2-3 tablespoons rice vinegar, to taste
1. In a zip-top bag, combine orange zest, orange juice, and
tamari or soy sauce. Add salmon. Seal bag and marinate in
refrigerator 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 450º. Remove fillets from bag and discard
marinade. Place fillets, skin sides down, in a shallow
roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Roast salmon 13
minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
3. Meanwhile, in a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over
medium-high heat. Add garlic, half of the spinach, and salt.
Cook, stirring often, 1 minute or until spinach starts to
wilt. Add remaining spinach and cook, stirring often, 2
minutes or until spinach wilts, stirring frequently. Remove
from heat; toss with rice vinegar.
4. To serve, arrange 2/3 cup spinach mixture on each of four
plates and top with one salmon fillet. Serve right away.
