Yield enough for 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

salmon - two 8-to 9-ounce (225 to 250g) pieces
olive oil
spinach - 1 pound (500g)
For the Salad
lemons - 2
superfine sugar - 2 teaspoons
olive oil - 2 tablespoons
flat-leaf parsley - a small bunch
capers - a heaping tablespoon

Steps:

  • Brush the salmon on both sides with olive oil, then season with salt. Get a nonstick frying pan hot. Place the fish, skin side down, in the pan and cook over medium heat for four or five minutes, until the skin has crisped. Turn, cover with a lid, and cook for a further five minutes or so, until the fish is lightly cooked through to the center.
  • Meanwhile, make the salad by cutting away the skin and white pith from the lemons with a sharp knife and slicing the lemons thinly. Put them into a bowl with the sugar, olive oil, and a good handful of parsley leaves, left whole. Add the capers and toss the salad gently. Let sit for a few minutes, during which time the sharpness of the lemon will mellow a little.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly, then steam in a lidded pan for a minute or two, until tender. Drain.
  • Put the lemon salad and the spinach on warm plates and slide on the salmon.
