Easy Glazed Salmon and Spinach salad recipe

This glazed salmon and spinach salad recipe has an impressive list of health benefits longer than the ingredients.  I listed all the vitamins and other superfood powers at the end of the post so you can see for yourself. And as an added bonus, your family and/or guests will think you slaved over this delicious meal. You can tell them how quick and simple it really was… or not.

Ingredients: (serves two)

    Looks great! I love salmon and I often use a soy sauce concoction on my pork chops but haven’t tried it on salmon before! Pinning.

    This looks so good! I’m trying to cook fish this year (I eat it at restaurants but NEVER cook it at home) so this recipe looks like a great one to try.

    Looks good! I ate a salmon salad last night, minus your yummy-sounding marinade. Must try this. I always feel virtuous when I eat salmon!

    I had some trouble getting this to look similar. Mine was extremely watery; didn’t look like glaze (yours) at all. Any tips? =)

      At 400 degrees I had very little glaze left in the casserole dish. I cooked mine on an upper shelf in the oven…

      April – I went back and re-read my recipe to make sure I didn’t have a typo. I realize my pieces of salmon were much larger than 5 ounces – probably more like 8 ounces. This probably made a big difference in the amount of liquid absorbed during cooking. I’m sorry you weren’t happy with the way your salmon looked. I hope it tasted good:) I have changed my recipe to reflect larger portions. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. GGG
