Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Creamy Saffron Rice
Pan-seared salmon fillets served over aromatic saffron-infused rice made creamy with a touch of coconut milk and vibrant sautéed spinach.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Salmon fillet
0.5 cup Cooked jasmine rice
1 tbsp Full-fat coconut milk
1 pinch Saffron threads
1 tsp Olive oil
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp Water
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the saffron threads with warm water and let steep for 5 minutes to release the golden color.
Season the salmon fillet evenly on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the center is just opaque and the fish flakes easily.
While the salmon cooks, stir the saffron water and coconut milk into the warm cooked jasmine rice until fully incorporated.
In a separate pan or the same skillet after removing the salmon, quickly sauté the baby spinach until just wilted.
Serve the golden salmon over the creamy saffron rice with a side of spinach and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice.
