Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets

• 3 tablespoons of Manuka honey

• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

• 1 clove of garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, grated

• Juice of half a lemon

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 cup of quinoa

• 2 cups of vegetable broth

• 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed

• 1 cup of baby spinach

• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Combine the Manuka honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir well until it forms a smooth glaze. Set aside.

2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin side down and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy.

3. Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Pour the honey glaze over the salmon and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the salmon is fully cooked and glazed.

4. While the salmon is cooking, rinse the quinoa under cold water. Add the quinoa and vegetable broth to a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, until the quinoa is cooked.

5. In the last 5 minutes of cooking the quinoa, add the asparagus on top of the quinoa, cover the pot again, and let it steam until it's cooked but still crisp.

6. To serve, divide the quinoa and asparagus among 4 plates. Place a honey glazed salmon fillet on each plate, and add a handful of baby spinach. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side.

Enjoy this delicious and healthy dinner that's sweetened naturally with the goodness of Manuka honey!
