Seared Salmon Fillet with Quinoa and Sautéed Spinach
Pan-seared salmon served over fluffy quinoa and garlic-sautéed spinach, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon for a bright, zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
2 cups fresh Spinach
1.5 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 Lemon, juiced
PREPARATION
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, then pat the skin side very dry with a paper towel.
Heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add the remaining half teaspoon of oil and the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted, then season with a pinch of salt.
Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa with a fork and place it on a plate.
Top the quinoa with the sautéed spinach and the seared salmon fillet.
Finish the dish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
