***This recipe was found online, submitted by Susan Robenson of Hot Springs, Arkansas***

2 packages fresh baby spinach
1 salmon fillet (1-1/2 pounds)
1 tsp olive oil
3 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup corn flakes, finely crushed
2 Tbsp almonds, finely chopped
2 Tbsp pecans, finely chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise

Place spinach in 9x13 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; top with salmon. Drizzle oil over spinach.

Combine honey and mustard. Remove 2 Tbsp of the mixture and brush over salmon. Combine corn flakes, almonds and pecans in small bowl. Press into salmon. Stir mayo into remaining honey mixture and refrigerate until serving.

Bake uncovered at 450* for 18-22 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Drizzle with reserved sauce. Serve with rice or couscous. Yield: 6 servings.

My family loves salmon so I thought this would be a great recipe. The salmon was fabulous! The sauce was a little to "mayo-y" for me, but in small bits it was a nice touch. My spinach ended up being too done, so we could only eat a little bit of it. I think I would cook the spinach separately next time, just because I would actually like to eat it with the meal. We also had couscous for the first time and it was so easy to make. Can't wait to try it again!
