- Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- Grate the ginger root and mince the garlic cloves finely to ensure they blend well into the glaze.
- To prevent the salmon from drying out, do not overcook it. Check for a slightly opaque center and flake the fish gently with a fork to see if it’s done.
- For extra flavor, let the salmon marinate in the maple-orange glaze for about 15-20 minutes before baking.
- Use baby spinach for a more tender texture, and wilt it just before serving to retain its bright green color and nutrients.
- Drizzle any leftover glaze from the baking dish over the salmon and spinach for an extra burst of flavor.
