Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil, divided
  • 1 (3 to 4oz) wild-caught salmon filet
  • Pinch sea salt

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.
