Seared Salmon Fillet with Quinoa and Garlic Sautéed Spinach
Enjoy a vibrant dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with fluffy quinoa and garlic-infused sautéed spinach. The tender salmon delivers a rich, buttery flavor enhanced by a light citrus finish, while the quinoa offers a nutty, hearty complement. Fresh spinach is quickly sautéed with garlic in olive oil to retain its bright flavor and nutritional punch, making this meal both satisfying and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
7.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup cooked Quinoa
2 cups raw Spinach
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for spinach)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for salmon)
1/2 Lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, season both sides with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the desired doneness is reached.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the quinoa as per package instructions if not already cooked.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (from 2 cloves) and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the garlic, tossing until the spinach is just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plate the quinoa as the base, then top with the seared salmon. Arrange the garlic sautéed spinach on the side and garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
