Balsamic Glazed Salmon with Spinach and Sweet Potato Fries

Balsamic Glazed Salmon with Spinach and Sweet Potato Fries

1 pound salmon filet, salted and peppered
4 cloves garlic, chopped
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt
4 sweet potatoes, medium sized
2 cups spinach

In a frying pan with 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, add potatoes and salt. Allow to cook, covered, for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender. When they begin to become tender, remove cover, and allow to fry until crispy, or another 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a saute pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil, add salmon, and allow to cook covered for about 10 minutes. After it has completed cooking, remove it, and allow to cool. Then, add garlic cloves in the remaining bits and oil. Remove pan from burner, and allow to cook for 3 minutes. Then, add the balsamic vinegar, and stir. After this, cut salmon into 4 ounce portions. 

In another pan, saute spinach in remaining olive oil with 1 clove of garlic.

To plate, add spinach to plates, and place salmon on the bed of spinach, and top with balsamic glaze. Then, place sweet potatoes to the side of the salmon. Enjoy!
