Seared Salmon Fillet with Wilted Spinach and Lemon Quinoa
Pan-seared salmon served over fragrant lemon quinoa and wilted garlic spinach, finished with a bright and zesty citrus squeeze.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
3 cups Fresh Spinach
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and sear for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and the minced garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and toss with tongs for 1 to 2 minutes until just wilted.
In a small bowl, fluff the warm cooked quinoa and stir in the fresh lemon juice and a bit of lemon zest if desired.
Place the lemon quinoa on a plate, layer the wilted garlic spinach on top, and finish with the seared salmon fillet.
