Seared Salmon with Quinoa and Garlic Sautéed Spinach
Enjoy a vibrant and nutrient-packed dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with fluffy quinoa and garlicky sautéed spinach. A squeeze of lemon adds brightness to this balanced, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
2 cups Baby Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon juice
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet, skin side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and a golden crust forms.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the quinoa as per package instructions if not pre-cooked. For quicker cooking, use pre-cooked quinoa and warm it up on the stove or in the microwave.
In another pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the pan with garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted but still vibrant. Season lightly with salt.
Plate the quinoa as a base, top with the sautéed spinach, and place the seared salmon on top. Drizzle with a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice over the salmon for added brightness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, balanced dinner.
