Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1/2 cup apple cider (not hard cider)
• 1 1/4 tablespoons honey
• 24 ounces salmon fillets, skinless
• salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 12 ounces spinach, fresh
• 1 1/4 tablespoons wine

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350°f.
• 2 place salmon fillets in a baking dish large enough to hold the salmon in one layer.
• 3 in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cider and honey to a boil and let the mixture bubble steadily until it reduces by half.
• 4 pour the cider over the salmon, then let it sit for 10 minutes.
• 5 set a large skillet with a heat-proof handle over medium-high heat. sprinkle the flesh side of the salmon with salt and pepper. set the fish in the pan. cook for 2 minutes, brushing the top with cider glaze so that the fish begins to caramelize.
• 6 turn the fillets over and brush with the remaining cider glaze. add the lemon halves to the skillet. transfer the skillet to the oven. bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily when tested with the tip of a knife.
• 7 while the salmon is cooking, in another large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. add the spinach, salt, and pepper. cook for 1 minute, or just until the leaves begin to wilt. pour the wine over them and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes more or until tender.
• 8 to serve, drain any excess liquid from the spinach and divide it among 4 plates. arrange a piece of salmon on top and garnish with a lemon half.
