Anyway, this is one of my favorite healthy meals. It's also pretty affordable. Pan seared salmon with sauted mushrooms and spinach. Everything about this meal is good for you and it tastes so good that you would never know you were eating healthy! Here's the how-to:
8 oz. filet of salmon
1 bag pre-washed baby spinach
1 small carton of baby bella mushrooms
1/2 small to medium yellow onion diced
1 to 2 cloves garlic minced
salt and pepper to taste
extra virgin olive oil
If you like your salmon a bit more done, preheat your oven to 350.
Drizzle olive oil over the salmon on both sides. Salt and pepper both sides, but remember that the salmon will not need a lot of salt due to its origin. Put some oil in a non-stick skillet over medium to medium high heat. Once the skillet is hot enough place the salmon in it skin side down for roughly 5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook until you have a nice sear on the flesh side. For those who like their fish less cooked, remove the salmon to a plate and cover with tin foil. For those who like it more done, place the skillet in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes depending on your desired doneness.
Oil a large skillet and place over medium heat. Add onions and cook for a couple minutes to soften. Add mushrooms and cook another couple minutes. Add garlic and more oil if needed (the mushrooms really soak it up). Before garlic begins to brown add the spinach. You may need to add it a little at a time and wait until it wilts down a bit before adding more. Once the spinach is wilted down, add salt and pepper and toss together. If you add the salt too soon you will end up with a very soggy dish as the spinach will release it's water content of which it has a considerable amount!
There you have it! I hope some of you try it and enjoy it as much as I do!
Looks delicious!!!
