This balsamic-glazed salmon with spinach, olives and golden raisins is a vibrant, heart-healthy dish that balances punchy Mediterranean flavours with seasonal freshness.

Packed with omega-3 fatty acids and iron-rich greens, this recipe is perfect for those seeking a light yet satisfying meal. The entire dish is prepared in a single frying pan, making it a practical option for busy evenings when you want a homemade, high-protein supper without any fuss.

How to make Balsamic-Glazed Salmon with Spinach, Olives, and Golden Raisins

Pour a few tablespoons water into heavy large nonstick skillet. Place over medium-high heat. Add 1 bag spinach (skillet will be full).

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 centre, 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.
