Seared Salmon with Garlic Spinach and Quinoa Pilaf
Pan-seared salmon served over a fluffy quinoa pilaf with garlicky sautéed spinach, finished with a squeeze of lemon for a bright, zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1.5 tablespoons 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 one tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through, then transfer to a plate to rest.
In the same skillet, add the remaining half tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and toss constantly for 1-2 minutes until just wilted and bright green.
Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa with a fork and plate it alongside the salmon and garlic spinach.
Finish the dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice over the salmon for a bright, zesty finish.
