  • Cook for 3 more minuetes or until the baby spinach has darkened in colour and cooked through.

  • Get the salmon fillet and squeeze some lemon juice over the top, adding a pinch of salt.
  • Heat a frypan on medium heat and add extra virgin olive oil with a hint of lemon (you can use regular extra virgin olive oil too).
  • Place the fillet gently into the frypan with the skin down and let it simmer. Cook it for approx 5-6 minutes so it begins to become crispy.
  • Once the skin turns crispy, turn the salmon fillet and cook the other side 4-5 minutes.
  • E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
