Ingredients
Scale
- 1 salmon fillet (about 150g)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 small garlic clove (optional)
- Avocado, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Cook skin-side down for about 3-4 minutes, then flip carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until just cooked through.
- Cook the Egg: In a small pan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Crack in the egg and cook sunny-side up until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet used for the salmon, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they turn golden brown. Optionally add minced garlic towards the end for extra flavor.
- Sauté the Spinach: Quickly sauté fresh spinach leaves in a drizzle of olive oil until wilted, about one minute.
- Plate & Serve: On a plate, arrange the salmon next to the sunny-side-up egg, add sautéed mushrooms and spinach alongside, top with diced avocado, and sprinkle with extra pepper.
