INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup cooked Brown Rice
2 cups raw Baby Spinach
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Olive Oil (for searing)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for spinach dressing)
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the salmon fillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the inside reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
In a small pan, lightly sauté a minced garlic clove in 1 teaspoon olive oil for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add 2 cups of raw baby spinach to the pan and sauté until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and creamy; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
To plate, arrange a bed of brown rice, top with the creamy spinach, and place the seared salmon on top. Optionally, garnish with a squeeze of lemon.
