INGREDIENTS
9.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1.5 cups Cooked Brown Rice
3 cups Spinach
1.5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
0.5 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down (if skin is present) and sear for about 4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and keep warm.
While the salmon is searing, gently reheat the cooked brown rice if needed.
In another pan, add the olive oil and heat over medium. Add the minced garlic (or finely chopped garlic clove) and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the pan and stir frequently, cooking for 2-3 minutes until just wilted. Season lightly with a pinch of salt.
Plate the brown rice as the base, top with the sautéed spinach, and place the seared salmon on top.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon from the lemon wedge over the salmon for brightness before serving.
