Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 teaspoons water
8 7-ounce salmon fillets
2 6-ounce bags baby spinach

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt 1/2 cup butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper and garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sugar; whisk until mixture is melted and smooth and begins to bubble, about 4 minutes. Whisk in lime juice and soy sauce. Increase heat and boil until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 2 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture and boil until thick, about 3 minutes. Set sauce aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, cook salmon until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet. Spoon 1 tablespoon sauce over each fillet. Roast until fish is opaque in center, about 5 minutes.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add spinach and toss until wilted but still bright green, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Using tongs, divide spinach among 8 plates. Top each with salmon fillet; drizzle with remaining sauce and serve.
