Black Pepper Salmon with Spinach



Attempting to eat healthier, I prepared dinner using salmon (high protein, high Omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin content) & spinach (rich source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, iron, folic acid, protein, omega-3 fatty acids and many more)

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup vegetable broth
salt (if broth is not salty enough)
1 med. onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons of freshly cracked black pepper
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch fresh spinach, washed, stemmed, and dried

Directions


Combine broth, wine and salt (optional) in a bowl. Pour half of the liquid in a zip lock bag and add salmon and onion. Chill both the salmon and reserved marinade for around 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Spread cracked pepper on a plate. Remove the salmon and onion from the marinade. Pat salmon dry with kitchen towel and press the cracked pepper into both sides of the salmon fillets.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil with medium heat. Add onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove onion from skillet and set aside.

Increase the heat to medium high, place salmon skin side down in the skillet and cook until crispy, about 10-15 minutes. When salmon is just cook through, remove from the skillet.

Add and heat up reserved marinade into the skillet. Add spinach and onion into boiling marinade and cook until the spinach is just limp, around 3 minutes.

Place spinach and onion mixture on the plate and place the salmon directly on top.
Spoon some of the sauce over the salmon and serve hot.
