Salmon with Sauteed Spinach over Quinoa
I recently made this for dinner, easy to put to together nutrient rich and tasty, hubby and kids approved :-) I even made a little milk sauce and blended the spinach and salmon in it for my baby :)
Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets - Wild Alaskan
- One pack of quinoa I often use boxes such as Near East for ease or can make plain
- 2 large handfuls of spinach
- 3 cloves of garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 a teaspoon of Italian herbs
Method:
- marinate the salmon in olive oil and herbs for about 20 minutes
- heat a little olive oil in a pan add salmon and poach with the lid on for 3-5 minutes
- slowly add the spinach and let it wilt, it will cook nicely and be flavored with the garlic
- meanwhile cook the quinoa they often come with a seasoning packet I use 1/2 to limit sodium.
- cook salmon and spinach 3 more minutes and then serve :-)
