Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 6 oz salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add salmon skin-side down. Cook for 4 minutes until skin is crisp, flip, and cook 3 more minutes until opaque throughout.
  2. Step 2: While salmon cooks, zest and juice 1 lime. Dice 1/2 medium avocado and toss with 1 tsp lime juice and 1/4 tsp sea salt (optional, but recommended for hydration).
  3. Step 3: Place 2 cups fresh spinach in a bowl. Top with cooked salmon, 1 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds, and the avocado mixture. Drizzle with remaining lime juice and zest.
  4. Step 4: Serve warm, ensuring the salmon's oils and avocado's healthy fats coat the spinach for maximum skin-nourishing benefits.
