Ingredients:
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
5 cups spinach
salt to taste
6oz. salmon fillet
2 tsp olive oil
ground pepper to taste
Instructions:
1) Pour the balsamic vinegar and honey into a small saucepan then bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat until the volume is reduced by half and a syrupy consistency is obtained, 5-7 min. Set aside. 2) Prepare the spinach. Wash and drain rapidly then transfer to a saucepan without adding any water. The water trapped in the leaves after gentle shaking is enough to cook them. Add salt, cover and cook over high heat 3-4 min until the leaves wilt. Avoid overcooking otherwise the spinach will become brownish. Transfer the spinach to a colander, press to remove excess water, then set aside. 3) Lightly oil salmon on both sides. Heat a grooved, thick-bottom frying pan or a nonstick pan. When hot, add the fish, skin side down, and cook until the edges become opaque and lighter coloured, about 5 min. Turn and cook an additional 3 min. Peel off the skin then season with salt and pepper. Check with a fork to see if it is cooked through. 4) Transfer the spinach to the warmed serving plates, place the fish on top, then drizzle with the balsamic syrup. Serve. 5) Have a piece of fruit or 1 cup mixed berries for dessert.
