Seared Salmon with Creamy Spinach and Brown Rice Pilaf
Pan-seared salmon fillet served over a fragrant brown rice pilaf with a side of velvety creamed spinach, finished with a bright squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup cooked Brown Rice
3 cups Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1.5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Yellow Onion, diced
PREPARATION
Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic in a small pan with half a tablespoon of olive oil until soft and fragrant.
Fold the cooked brown rice into the onion and garlic mixture, seasoning with a pinch of sea salt to complete the pilaf.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the skin is crisp and the flesh is flaky.
Remove the salmon from the pan and immediately add the fresh spinach to the same skillet, tossing until just wilted.
Turn off the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until the spinach is coated in a light, creamy sauce.
Serve the seared salmon over the warm rice pilaf with the creamy spinach on the side and a fresh lemon wedge for squeezing.
