Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season with 1/4 tsp salt. Heat avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add salmon skin-side down. Cook for 4 minutes until golden, flip, and cook 3 more minutes until opaque and flaky.
  2. Step 2: While salmon cooks, dice avocado and toss with 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1/4 tsp salt to prevent browning. Sauté chia seeds in a small pan over low heat for 2 minutes until slightly toasted and fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Plate spinach, top with cooked salmon, then arrange avocado slices. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice, sprinkle toasted chia seeds, and serve immediately while salmon is hot.
