Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil, divided
- 1 (3 to 4oz) wild-caught salmon filet
- Pinch sea salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons crushed walnuts
- 1 teaspoon hemp seeds
- 1/4 medium red apple, grated
Instructions
Directions
Add the spinach, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and ½ tablespoon oil to a bowl and toss well. Set aside.
Preheat oven to broil.
Drizzle ½ tablespoon avocado oil into a heavy broiler pan or medium-size iron skillet.
Place salmon skin side down. Squeeze remaining lemon juice on top, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Broil in the oven for 6-8 minutes per inch of thickness. Check after 6 minutes, and either remove or continue cooking until salmon is medium, or to your liking. Let rest for 2 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill the salmon on a BBQ or grill pan.
Add the walnuts and hemp seeds to a small, dry skillet and toast over medium for 2 minutes.
Add the grated apple to the spinach and toss, then plate. Lay salmon on top and sprinkle with the walnuts and hemp seeds.
