Receta Baked Salmon with Fresh Baby Spinach
This is still one of our all time favorite ways to eat baked salmon; even the kids eat it.
When I first posted this recipe we were eager to eat and thus I missed the photo op prior to the first bite. This time I clicked the shutter just prior to the first application of the fork.
The sauce has a pan asian flair with the sweet orange juice and the savory ginger balancing one another nicely.
This fish can be served with any green veg though admittedly our choices are always fresh baby spinach and often asparagus.
