Baked Wild Salmon served on Sauteed Spinach with Pistachios
Serves: 4
Prep time:
I always give myself a few hours of time to marinate fish with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and zest
Cook time:
30-35 minutes
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs wild salmon
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
4 cups of organic spinach, rinsed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup pistachios
1/4 teaspoon pink himalayan salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup wild rice served with dinner
Instructions:
Marinate salmon with 1 tablespoon drizzled olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest and a handful of chopped pistachios.
Place in refrigerator for a few hours. Remove from refrigerator and let salmon warm to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until salmon is completely pink and flavors begin to bubble through.
While salmon is baking, prepare wild rice. 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice ratio.
In a large skillet pan, heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic. Add spinach and perhaps a touch of water. Let spinach saute until everything moistens and cooks.

into each other every so often at the
Rye YMCA and I see her healthy
recipes on Instagram – they are
delicious! I asked her if I could
highlight some of them from time
to time on my website since she often uses vegetables commonly grown in the gardens where I teach. I wish she would cook dinner at my house every night!
