Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Salmon

4 (8 ounce) salmon fillets
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons orange juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Pomegranate Drizzle

1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 pinch salt (optional)

Spinach

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 pound fresh spinach, torn
salt to taste
1 cup pomegranate arils, or to taste
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
1/2 orange, sliced
1 tablespoon orange zest for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place salmon on the prepared sheet pan and allow to come to room temperature. Stir melted butter and orange juice together in a small bowl, and brush on salmon fillets. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake salmon in the preheated oven until an instant read thermometer, inserted near the center, reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 13 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, for drizzle, combine pomegranate juice, brown sugar, orange juice, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
For spinach, pour olive oil into a large skillet, and heat over medium heat until oil shimmers. Add green onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook, turning the spinach and stirring, until just wilted and still bright green, about 2 minutes.
Transfer spinach to a serving platter, and place salmon filets on top. Drizzle salmon with pomegranate drizzle, and sprinkle with pomegranate arils. Garnish with parsley, green onions, orange slices, and orange zest.

Fanouropita (Greek St. Fanourios Cake)

Fanouropita is a Greek cake named after Saint Fanourios, the saint of lost things. It's said that if you've lost something, you make this cake so that St. Fanourios can help you find it. While the story behind this cake is nice, the cake itself is even nicer! I love the richness of the olive oil, which helps the cake stay moist for days.

My Big Fat Greek Salad

You can't go wrong with this traditional Greek salad, especially if you remember the only and most important tip: toss it with the vinegar first before adding olive oil. If you don't, it will not taste as good. Which reminds me, giving the amounts here is very difficult, since this really should be made to your tastes, so please use the ingredient list as a very rough outline.

Almond Meal Pancakes

It's always nice when the best version of a recipe is also the easiest. After testing many almond flour pancake recipes that always came out unbalanced in different ways, I now give you the most texturally and *tastily* superior one of them all. Oh, and they are gluten-free, in case you're wondering. Serve with fresh fruit coated in maple syrup!

Fig, Prosciutto, and Goat Cheese Pinwheels

For these fig, prosciutto, and goat cheese pinwheels, a puff pastry sheet is layered with goodies, then rolled up like a jelly roll, and sliced. Baked to crispy, chewy, fruity, sweet, and herby perfection, these are hard to resist.
