Balsamic-Glazed Salmon with Spinach, Olives, and Golden Raisins image

This dinner for two is quick and healthy: Everything cooks in just one large skillet. And the final dish is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. To round out this recipe and riff on its Mediterranean feel, serve the salmon with couscous tossed with roasted pistachios.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (9-ounce) bags spinach leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 (5-ounce) salmon fillets with skin
1/3 cup chopped shallot (1 very large)
1/3 cup halved pitted Kalamata olives
1/3 cup golden raisins
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Pour a few tablespoons water into heavy large nonstick skillet. Place over medium-high heat. Add 1 bag spinach (skillet will be full). Using 2 wooden spoons, turn and toss spinach until most of leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes. Add remaining spinach leaves in 2 batches. Turn and toss spinach until just wilted but still bright green. Transfer cooked spinach to strainer set over bowl.
  • Wipe skillet dry if necessary. Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Place in skillet, skin side up. Sear until brown, about 3 minutes; turn fish. Cook until just opaque in center, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to plate; wipe skillet clean.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to same skillet. Add chopped shallot, halved olives, and golden raisins. Stir 1 minute. Add spinach; toss until heated through, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mound spinach mixture on plates. Top with salmon.
  • Add balsamic vinegar and honey to skillet. Boil until reduced to glaze, about 30 seconds. Spoon glaze over salmon and spinach and serve.
