Easy Low Carb Dinner for Two!

One of our go-to meals for busy week nights is a simple Pan Seared Salmon with sauteed veggies. This week, we just happened to have lots of mushrooms and spinach on hand and decided to create a simple dish out of them. We love the combination of crispy, fried mushrooms and sauteed, delicate spinach. Adding tomatoes into the mix adds some body to your veggie sautee, while garlic adds tons of flavor and heart healthy benefits. Each clove has 1 gram of carbs though, so used in moderation, they’re great additions to your low carb diet.

We kept the seasonings super simple here, as the stars of the show are the fresh veggie and flavorful salmon. We seasoned the salmon with a bit of salt and pepper and seared it to achieve that gorgeous golden crisp on the outside. Salmon also loves lemon juice and balsamic vinegar, two acidic ingredients that we added in as well!

This is a great low carb dinner option and can be tailored to fit your tastes. Some zucchini, asparagus and kale would make this a more winter-y dish! And you can always substitute your favorite fish in the place of the salmon- maybe some tilapia or cod. You’ve also got a paleo friendly dinner option too!

Serves 2 servings Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes Serves 2 servings Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes Servings: servings Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic

1/2 lb mushrooms

2 tbsp butter

2 campari tomatoes

2 cups spinach

salt and pepper

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp olive oil

2 salmon fillets Instructions Get your salmon fillets ready by patting them with a paper towel to get rid of any excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and pepper and keep them in the fridge while you prep the rest of the recipe. Start by heating some olive oil over a medium heat and slicing your garlic, mushrooms and tomatoes. We left our pretty chunky. Cook the garlic and mushrooms in the olive oil until they’ve shrunken in size a bit. Add butter to the pan to get them nice and crispy. Then add your tomatoes and wait until they’ve denatured a bit. Add in your spinach last and cook just until it has all wilted. Season with salt and pepper and toss very well. Remove the veggies from the heat and onto a plate. Cover with foil while you cook your salmon. Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in that same pan and wait until it’s very, very hot. Lay your salmon fillets skin side down onto your pan and leave them to sear for about 4-5 minutes. Don’t move them around or disturb them because you may end up breaking the fillets and you won’t get that nice, even sear. Then flip the fillets and let them cook for another 4-5 minutes. Lastly, uncover your veggies and drizzle them with some balsamic vinegar. Place your salmon fillets right on top and garnish with fresh lemon. Enjoy!
