Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 salmon fillet (about 150g)
  • 1 large egg
  • Diced avocado
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 small garlic clove (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat ½ tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until crispy. Flip the fillet and cook for another 2–3 minutes until just cooked through.
  2. In a small frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil. Crack in the egg gently and cook sunny-side up until whites are set but yolk remains runny.
  3. In the same skillet used for salmon, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown (add minced garlic if desired).
  4. Quickly sauté spinach in another section of the skillet until wilted.
  5. Plate the dish by arranging the salmon alongside sunny egg, sautéed mushrooms, wilted spinach, and diced avocado. Sprinkle with extra cracked black pepper before serving.
