Flaky Pan-Seared Salmon with Garlic Spinach and Lemon Orzo
Enjoy a beautifully balanced plate featuring a perfectly pan-seared, flaky salmon fillet paired with garlicky sautéed spinach and a light lemon-infused orzo. This dish is designed to be both fresh and satisfying, with bright citrus notes enhancing the rich flavor of the salmon and the tender crunch of the spinach.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/3 cup dry Orzo
1 cup raw Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1/4 Lemon (juice)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and add the orzo. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside. Squeeze in the juice of 1/4 lemon and toss lightly with a drizzle of olive oil.
While the orzo cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
Add the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily.
In another pan, heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Immediately add the raw spinach and sauté just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Plate the salmon alongside a serving of lemon orzo and a generous portion of garlic spinach. Serve immediately, enjoying the harmonious blend of citrus, garlic, and the rich flavor of pan-seared salmon.
