For the Salmon:

3 tablespoons honey
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 garlic clove, minced
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Lemon wedges (for serving)
For the Potatoes:
-
4 medium potatoes, diced
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), optional
For the Spinach:
-
4 cups fresh spinach
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) you’re using.
-
Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure they roast properly.
-
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
Step 2: Prepare the Salmon
-
While the potatoes are roasting, take a small bowl and mix together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
-
Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish, and pour the honey mixture over the top, ensuring the fillets are coated evenly.
-
Bake the salmon in the oven for 15-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fillets), or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 3: Sauté the Spinach
-
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
-
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until it wilts, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Serve
-
Plate the roasted potatoes on each serving plate.
-
Place the honey-glazed salmon fillet on top of the potatoes.
-
Add a generous helping of the sautéed spinach on the side.
-
Garnish with fresh lemon wedges for extra flavor and a touch of acidity to balance the sweetness of the honey glaze.
Notes
For extra flavor, drizzle a bit of lemon juice over the salmon just before serving, and garnish with freshly chopped dill or parsley. Want to spice it up? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey glaze for a subtle kick!
