Name: Javanese Roasted Salmon and Wilted Spinach
Yield: Makes 8 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter; 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper; 1 large garlic clove, minced; 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar; 1/2 cup fresh lime juice; 1/2 cup soy sauce; 2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 teaspoons water; 8 7-ounce salmon fillets; 2 6-ounce bags baby spinach

"Although I'm not usually a big fan of fish, I love the roasted salmon at the Saucebox here in Portland," writes Irin Haruchai of Portland, Oregon. "The sauce served with it is out of this world."

Spicy sauces with sweet-and-sour flavors are popular in Javanese food and, in this case, pair deliciously with salmon.
