PREPARATION

These steps are followed for the preparation of Garlic Butter Roasted Salmon and Spinach:

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispier surface.
  • Season and marinate: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush the salmon fillet generously with this mixture and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Roast the salmon: Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet. The internal temperature should reach 52°C (125°F) for medium-rare or 60°C (140°F) for well-done.
  • Sauté the spinach: While the salmon is roasting, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil, then toss in the spinach. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally.
  • Plate and serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve it over the sautéed spinach and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter for extra flavour.

TIPS

Here are some tips for Garlic Butter Roasted Salmon and Spinach:

  • For extra crispiness: Place the salmon under the broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  • Use fresh salmon: Fresh salmon provides the best taste, but frozen salmon works well if thawed properly before cooking.
  • Prevent dryness: Don’t overcook the salmon; use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
  • Enhance flavour: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or sprinkle with lemon zest before serving.
  • Deeper taste: Toasting the garlic in butter before applying it to the salmon adds a more caramelised flavour.
  • Perfect pairing: Serve with mashed cauliflower, roasted vegetables or quinoa for a heartier meal.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Garlic Salmon: Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Herb-Infused: Mix in fresh rosemary, thyme or dill with the garlic butter.
  • Cheesy Spinach: Sprinkle grated Parmesan or crumbled feta over the spinach before serving.
  • Lemon Butter: Swap the butter for lemon butter sauce for a tangy twist.
  • Asian-Inspired: Brush salmon with a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic before roasting.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan over low heat to retain moisture.
  • Freezing: Freeze cooked salmon for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the oven at 175°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Make multiple servings at once and store individual portions for easy, ready-to-eat meals during the week.
