A delightful salmon dish with a honey mustard glaze and aromatic herbs, perfect for a quick and flavorful dinner.
Combine the honey, Dijon mustard, thyme, garlic, and black pepper in a glass dish.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well blended.
Place the salmon fillets in the dish and coat them evenly with the marinade.
Turn the salmon a few times to ensure even coating.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Longer marination enhances the flavor, but 30 minutes is sufficient for a quick meal.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle some marinade on top.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Bake the salmon for about 15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Avoid overcooking to keep the salmon moist and tender.
Toss the spinach with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness.
Serve the salmon on a bed of spinach and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprig of thyme for a professional touch.
