Chipotle Salmon and Quinoa Bowl
Pan-seared salmon glazed with smoky chipotle peppers served over fluffy quinoa and wilted spinach for a vibrant, zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 ounce salmon fillet
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Season the salmon fillet evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the finely minced chipotle peppers in adobo and half of the fresh lime juice to create a glaze.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and place the salmon skin-side down.
Sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes per side, brushing the chipotle glaze onto the flesh during the final 2 minutes of cooking until caramelized.
Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside to rest; in the same pan, toss the fresh baby spinach for 1 minute until just wilted.
Whisk the remaining lime juice into the Greek yogurt in a small ramekin to create a smooth, tangy crema.
Assemble the bowl by layering the cooked quinoa and wilted spinach, topping with the glazed salmon, and finishing with a drizzle of the yogurt crema.
