Ingredients
  

FOR THE SALMON

  • 2 salmon filets skin on, about ¼ pound each
  • 3 ounces chorizo casings removed
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • lime wedges for serving optional
  • FOR THE SPINACH
  • 1 pound spinach leaves washed, stems removed
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • salt to taste
  • lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a large, ovenproof skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo for 5 - 10 minutes, crumbling as you go, until cooked through and crispy. Remove the chorizo and preheat the broiler. In the same pan, cook the salmon skin-side down for 2 minutes until the bottom edge becomes slightly opaque. Sprinkle evenly with the chili powder and seasoned salt, and drizzle with the syrup.
  • Broil the salmon for 3 - 4 minutes until cooked through to your liking and syrup is caramelized on top. Serve with lime, if desired.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a second skillet to medium heat for the spinach. Add the spinach to the pan with the cumin, garlic, and a sprinkle of salt. Use a drizzle of oil if not cooking with nonstick cookware. Toss the spinach to wilt for 1 - 2 minutes until just barely wilted, and serve.

Notes

  • For salmon with no skin, cook for 1 minute less to prevent overcooking.
