Salmon

Sautéed Spinach

Lemon Butter

Method

Prepare the Salmon

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Salmon

    Pat the Faroe Island salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the fillets and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over the top.

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Sauté the Spinach

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

  3. 6

    Add Spinach

    Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet. Cook while stirring until the spinach is wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Prepare the Lemon Butter

  1. 7

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat.

  2. 8

    Add Lemon and Parsley

    Once melted, stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Mix well and remove from heat.

Serve the Dish

  1. 9

    Plate the Spinach

    Divide the sautéed spinach among four plates, creating a bed for the salmon.

  2. 10

    Add the Salmon

    Place a grilled salmon fillet on top of the sautéed spinach on each plate.

  3. 11

    Drizzle with Lemon Butter

    Spoon the lemon butter sauce generously over the salmon fillets before serving.
