Baked Salmon Fillet with Sauteed Garlic Spinach

Recipe makes 2 servings

Ingredients:

For the salmon:
2 skin-on salmon fillets (approx. 7oz/200 g each)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves (or ½ tsp dried)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving

For the spinach:
10.5oz/ 300g fresh spinach
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Salt, to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the oven:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towel. Place them skin-side down on the tray.

Rub the top of the fillets  with olive oil, and then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and rosemary leaves.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For a crispier top, broil for the last 2 minutes.

While the salmon bakes, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.

Add the fresh spinach in batches, stirring constantly until wilted. Season lightly with salt. This process should take 4-5 minutes in total.

Drain any excess liquid if needed.

Place a generous bed of sautéed spinach in the center of each plate. Top with a baked salmon fillet and garnish with fresh lemon wedges on the side.

Serve immediately while warm.
