Balsamic Maple Glazed Salmon with Spinach & Tomatoes
Salmon is the fish of choice in my home. I like to prepare it as many ways as I can so my family doesn’t get bored with it. When I saw this recipe packed with healthy and flavorful ingredients I knew I had to try it. To my surprise it was voted their all-time favorite – and I’ve made lots of salmon.
There are several steps to this recipe, but each one is easy, and can all be done simultaneously.
Since our weather turned rainy and cold Tuesday evening, I opted to roast the salmon in the oven rather than grill it. It turned out perfect. While this isn’t my first time preparing the dish, I can confidently say both cooking methods create stellar results. If you can’t find both red and yellow grape tomatoes, opt for whichever the grocer has on hand.
If adding carbs to your meal is important, then I’d suggest mashed potatoes, and plating them as described below.
While this dish is perfect any day of the week it also makes a lovely, and colorful meal to serve your guests. I hope you’ll try it.
Here’s the recipe……
