Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Set your filets of salmon on a piece of parchment paper and preheat the oven to 325.
  2. Mix together the dijon mustard, and maple syrup. Divide the mixture on top of the salmon and top with fresh ground pepper.
  3. Bake the salmon for 20 minutes in the oven, until flaky when you poke in a fork and twist it.
  4. During the last 6-8 minutes of baking, add ½ cup of halved walnuts to the baking sheet to toast in the oven.
  5. 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.
  6. Add in spinach and stir it to coat it in olive oil, and the heat of the pan will wilt the spinach.
  7. When the salmon is fully cooked, plate the wilted garlic basil spinach underneath with salmon and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
