Enjoy a beautifully balanced plate featuring a perfectly seared 8-ounce salmon fillet served atop a smooth, herby lentil mash and a side of garlicky sautéed spinach. This dish offers a delightful mix of tender fish, earthy lentils, and vibrant greens, all masterfully seasoned to enhance natural flavors.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
0.75 cup Cooked Lentils
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until just cooked through.
In a small pot, warm the cooked lentils gently over low heat to create a smooth mash. Season lightly with salt and pepper, mashing slightly with a fork to achieve a chunky consistency.
Meanwhile, heat a separate pan over medium heat and add the teaspoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the lentil mash as a base, top with the seared salmon, and serve the garlicky spinach on the side. Squeeze a little lemon over the salmon if desired for extra brightness.
