INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup wilted Spinach
1 tbsp Olive Oil (for searing)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for pilaf)
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet, skin side down if applicable, and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked to your preference.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the quinoa pilaf. In a small pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and onion, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the cooked quinoa with the garlic and onion mixture, warming through for about 2 minutes and mixing the flavors.
In a separate pot, lightly wilt the spinach over medium heat. You can add a splash of water and cook until just tender, about 1-2 minutes.
Plate the quinoa pilaf as a base, top with the seared salmon, and arrange the wilted spinach on the side.
Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the salmon for extra flavor and serve immediately.
