Pan-Seared Salmon with Garlic Quinoa and Sautéed Spinach
Pan-seared salmon fillet served over fluffy garlic-infused quinoa and wilted spinach, finished with a squeeze of lemon and a buttery-crisp skin.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 cups Fresh Spinach
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
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 10 seconds to ensure even contact; cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F for medium-rare or to your preferred doneness.
Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest on a plate.
In the same pan, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan and toss until just wilted, then stir in the pre-cooked quinoa to warm it through.
Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning as needed.
Plate the garlic quinoa and spinach mixture and top with the pan-seared salmon fillet.
