Author: Marisa @ Uproot from Oregon
Recipe type: Main
Serves: 2
- 2 4-ounce filets of wild salmon
- 1 teaspoon stoneground dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ½ cup halved walnuts
- ¼ of a sweet onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced basil
- 1 large minced garlic clove
- 4 cups baby spinach
- Extra basil for garnish
- Set your filets of salmon on a piece of parchment paper and preheat the oven to 325.
- Mix together the dijon mustard, and maple syrup. Divide the mixture on top of the salmon and top with fresh ground pepper.
- Bake the salmon for 20 minutes in the oven, until flaky when you poke in a fork and twist it.
- During the last 6-8 minutes of baking, add ½ cup of halved walnuts to the baking sheet to toast in the oven.
- Thinly chop the sweet onion and sauté it in a pan with olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add in the minced basil and garlic and sauté until fragrant, and then turn off the heat.
- Add in spinach and stir it to coat it in olive oil, and the heat of the pan will wilt the spinach.
- When the salmon is fully cooked, plate the wilted garlic basil spinach underneath with salmon and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
