Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the salmon: pat the fillets dry with paper towels, then season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Peel the plantains and cut into slices about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the plantain slices until tender and lightly caramelized (about 8 minutes). Set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, cook the salmon skin-side down for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until a nice golden crust forms.

  5. 5

    Mince the garlic and quickly sauté the spinach with the garlic in olive oil (3 minutes) to preserve its green color and fresh taste.

  6. 6

    Cut the avocados into thick slices just before serving.

  7. 7

    Plate the dish: place the salmon in the center, surround with the golden plantains, vibrant spinach, and creamy avocado slices.

💡 Chef's Tip

Serve immediately after cooking for the best presentation. Add a drizzle of lemon-honey sauce for extra flavor. Choose ripe but firm avocados. Prepare the plantains in advance and reheat just before serving if necessary.
