Smoked Paprika Roasted Salmon With Wilted Spinach Recipes

Steps:

• Mix orange juice, 2 Tbsp of the oil and 1 tsp of the thyme in a small bowl.
• Place salmon in a large glass dish. Add the marinade; turn to coat well.
• Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or longer for extra flavor.).
• Mix sugar, paprika, cinnamon, orange peel, remaining 1 tsp thyme and sea salt in a small bowl.
• Remove salmon from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Place in a greased foil-lined baking pan. Rub top of salmon evenly with smoked paprika mixture.
• Roast salmon in preheated 400 degree oven 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tsp of oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
• Add spinach; cook and stir 2 minutes or until wilted.
• Serve Salmon over spinach.

Steps:

• Put the spinach in a really big saucepan (or two saucepans) and add a few tablespoons of water. Cover, set over a medium heat and cook for about 5-8 mins, turning the spinach over every so often, until wilted. Tip it into a colander to drain and allow it to cool (spread it out on a plate to cool it quicker). Take big handfuls of it in your fists and squeeze out the excess water. It's really important that you do this, otherwise the water will leach out and make the cream watery and green.
• Chop the spinach. Melt the butter in a saucepan and gently toss the spinach in it. Season with pepper and a tiny bit of salt (there's so much salt in the salmon). Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Lay the spinach in the bottom of a gratin dish (about 30cm x 20cm), then arrange the salmon fillets on top.
• Heat the double cream in a small pan, then pour it all over the salmon and spinach. Bake for 35 mins, or until the top is golden and the cream is bubbling.
