Healthy Cooking: A Delightful Blend of Salmon and Spinach
In the realm of healthy meal options, a standout favourite is this flavourful and nutritious salmon and spinach dish. This simple yet tantalising recipe is easy to prepare and is a go-to for many, including the author.
The ingredients for this powerhouse of flavour and wellness are straightforward. You'll need wild-caught salmon filets, fresh spinach, garlic, turmeric, garlic powder, lemon juice, coconut oil, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon slices for garnish (if desired).
To begin, let's talk about the salmon. Fresh salmon should have a bright, moist appearance, and a clean smell. It's best to let it sit out for about 15 to 20 minutes before cooking, ensuring even cooking. Once ready, marinate the salmon in a blend of coconut oil, lemon juice, turmeric, garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Next, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the marinated salmon filets for about 12-15 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of about 145°F (63°C). Remember, overcooked salmon becomes dry and loses flavour, so it's important to keep an eye on the cooking time.
While the salmon is baking, sauté the spinach in a pan with a touch more coconut oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice for an aromatic play of spices and lemon juice.
Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes for the juices to redistribute. Serve it atop a bed of sautéed spinach, garnished with lemon slices if desired.
This dish is not only delicious but also suitable for those on a paleo diet. It's a recipe that can be added to your collection, ready to be enjoyed time and time again. So why not give it a try and discover the flavourful world of salmon and spinach for yourself?
