Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tsp avocado oil.
  2. Step 2: Season salmon with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp turmeric, then roast for 12-14 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 125°F internally.
  3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, heat a small skillet over medium heat and add 1 cup fresh spinach, stirring until wilted and just tender, about 2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Divide cooked spinach between plates, top with roasted salmon, then arrange avocado slices and drizzle with 1 tbsp lemon juice before serving.
