Instructions
Put the apple cider and honey in a small shallow pan on medium high heat.
Let it come to a boil and boil it until the mixture reduces by about half, leaving you with a little more than 1/4 cup of glaze.
Let cool for a minute. 2Arrange the salmon fillets (skin-side down, if using skin-on salmon fillets) in arimmed dish large enough to fit all of the fillets in a single layer.
Pour the honey cider glazeover the salmon.
Let it sit for 5 minutes, then turn the salmon pieces over and let sit for another 5 minutes in the glaze.3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high. (It helps to use a relatively stick-free pan like hard anodized aluminum.)
Sprinkle the flesh side of the salmon fillets with salt.
Place the fillets flesh side down (skin-side up) in the hot pan. Cook for 2 minutes on medium high heat. As you cook the fish, brush the sides of the fillets with some of the glaze. 4Turn the salmon fillets over (now skin-side down) and brush with the remaining honey cider glaze.
Sprinkle salmon with lemon juice. Lower the heat to medium. Cook for 3to 5minutes until the salmon is just barely cooked through.
Remove the pan from heat. Some of the glaze should have caramelized in the pan. Use a pastry brush to brush any pan juices over the top of the fillets. Cover with foil to keep warm.5In a separate large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Add the baby spinach to the pan. Cook for a minute. When the spinach begins to wilt, use tongs to turn the leaves over in the pan to help coat the leaves with a little butter.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to cook a minute or two more until the spinach is wilted.6To serve, divide the spinachamong 4 plates. Arrange a piece of salmon to the side or on top and garnish with a slice of lemon.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are great choices for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The GEN5 Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 9 dollars per bottle.
GEN5 Chardonnay
A very friendly Chardonnay, with juicy tropical fruit flavors, a hint of creaminess, and a long, bright finish. For five generations our family has lived and worked our land in Lodi, California, always striving to leave the land in a better state for the nextgeneration.
