Ingredients
- 4 oz salmon fillets
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2, sliced avocado
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2, juiced lemon
- 1 tbsp, chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add salmon skin-side down. Sear for 4 minutes until golden, flip, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes until opaque and flaky.
- Step 2: While salmon cooks, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add spinach and toss until fully wilted and tender (about 2 minutes), stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Step 3: Transfer wilted spinach to a bowl, top with baked salmon and sliced avocado. Drizzle with lemon juice and chopped dill, then gently toss until evenly distributed.
