The PERFECT Salmon!

Yummyyyy!

I just made the most delicious crispy salmon meal and I want you all to be in the know.

I made: Lemon-pepper salmon, garlic spinach and a baked potato. The best part is, the entire thing cost me $7 at whole foods - I bought enough for 2 servings, so it was $7 per serving, to be clear.

I bought:

A half pound Norwegian Salmon

2 servings of fresh spinach

2 russet potatoes

a lemon

garlic

Pretty amazing right?

First things first, figure out how you want to bake your baked potato. If you're like me, and do it in the oven exclusively, you should do this an hour before hand (1 hour at 400?)

Next, prep marinade for salmon. Mix equal parts olive oil and lemon juice (fresh preferably), along with desired amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Coat salmon in olive oil-lemon mix and let sit while prepping the rest of the dish

Heat pan to prepare for fish - DO NOT add oil to the pan - just heat the pan itself on medium high heat.

Heat a second pan at low-heat.

Slice two cloves garlic, add to second sautee pan.

Wash spinach and add to pan with garlic - this is the healthiest way to sautee spinach, with just the water from rinsing.

Now, for the salmon:

Place olive-oil and lemon coated salmon skin side down in hot pan.

Let cook for 6 to 7 minutes, or until skin is crispy.

While skin-side of salmon is cooking, fold spinach. When it is still a vibrant green but has wilted a little, turn heat of completed and let the remaining heat cook the spinach for a couple of minutes.

Focus your attention back to the salmon: flip to other side and let cook for another 2 minutes.

Remove Spinach from second pan and on to plate with garlic cloves (if you like garlic :)

Place salmon skin side down on plate.

Take Baked potato out of oven, prepare as desired!

Voila! Healthy eating at its best.
