Pan-Seared Salmon with Garlic Quinoa and Sautéed Spinach
Pan-seared salmon served over fluffy garlic-infused quinoa and tender sautéed spinach, finished with a squeeze of bright lemon and a buttery-crisp skin.
INGREDIENTS
4.25 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
2 cups fresh Spinach
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot skillet and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until desired doneness.
Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the minced garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan and toss until just wilted, then stir in the cooked quinoa to warm it through.
Plate the garlic quinoa and spinach mixture and top with the pan-seared salmon fillet.
