Tips:
- Choose the Right Salmon: Select a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet with a vibrant color and firm texture.
- Proper Seasoning: Generously season the salmon with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like lemon zest, garlic powder, or paprika for extra flavor.
- Crispy Skin: To achieve crispy skin, pat the salmon dry before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent it from steaming.
- High Heat: Cook the salmon over high heat to quickly sear the skin and create a crispy crust.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Be careful not to overcook the salmon. Cook it just until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
- Rest the Salmon: After cooking, let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and prevent the fish from drying out.
- Fresh Spinach: Use fresh, tender spinach for the bed of greens. Baby spinach works well as it cooks quickly and has a mild flavor.
- Quick Cooking: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Wilt the spinach just until it is tender, about 1-2 minutes.
- Flavorful Dressing: Make a simple dressing with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. You can also add other ingredients like minced garlic, Dijon mustard, or honey for extra flavor.
