Ingredients:
1 cup jasmine rice
2 tsp unsalted butter
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
3 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
4 salmon fillets (4 oz each), skin removed
1 tsp canola oil
2 pkg (5 oz each) baby spinach
2 tsp black sesame seeds (Whole Foods)
Heat oven to 400F. Cook rice as directed on package.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Saute garlic and pepper flakes until garlic is lightly golden, 1 minute. Add syrup, juice and soy sauce; cook until bubbling, 3 minutes.
In a bowl, combine cornstarch and 1 teaspoon water; stir into garlic glaze. Cook until slightly thick, 1 minute.
Arrange fillets on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spread 1 teaspoon glaze over each fillet. Roast until just cooked through, 12 minutes.
In a medium skillet, warm oil over medium heat. Add 1 package spinach; saute until just wilted. Remove from pan; set aside. Repeat with second package spinach.
Divide rice among 4 bowls; top each with 1/4 spinach and 1 salmon fillet, broken into large pieces. Drizzle with remaining sauce; sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds.
