Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Garlic Spinach
Enjoy a beautifully balanced dish featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet with a crispy skin, served atop a bed of garlicky sautéed spinach and a side of fluffy quinoa. The combination of bright lemon and aromatic garlic elevates the natural flavors of the fish, making it an enticing option for a nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
2 cups Fresh Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 Lemon wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil once hot.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the skillet. Allow it to sear undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes until the skin becomes crispy. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, in another pan, sauté minced garlic in a tiny drizzle of olive oil over medium heat for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the garlic and toss until wilted, which should take about 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
Warm the cooked quinoa if desired, then plate it as a side.
Serve the salmon on top of the sautéed garlic spinach with a lemon wedge on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
