METHOD · 3 STEPS

Pan-sear the salmon until golden.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the salmon fillets in the pan and cook for 4 minutes per side until the exterior is crisp and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
TIPPat the salmon dry with a paper towel before cooking to ensure a better sear and prevent sticking.
Sauté the garlic and wilt the spinach.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the baby spinach and cook for about 1 minute until just wilted but still bright green.
TIPAvoid overcooking the spinach to maintain its nutrient density and vibrant color.

- Place the cooked brown rice in a serving bowl.
- Top the rice with the sautéed spinach and the seared salmon.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use a heavy-bottomed or cast-iron skillet to get the most even sear on the salmon.
2
Fluff the brown rice with a fork before assembly to keep the bowl light and airy.
3
Squeeze the lemon juice fresh at the moment of serving to maximize the vitamin C content and brightness.
