Salmon with Sauteed Spinach over Quinoa

I recently made this for dinner, easy to put to together nutrient rich and tasty, hubby and kids approved :-) I even made a little milk sauce and blended the spinach and salmon in it for my baby :)

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets - Wild Alaskan 
• One pack of quinoa I often use boxes such as Near East for ease or can make plain
• 2 large handfuls of spinach 
• 3 cloves of garlic 
• salt and pepper to taste 
• 1/2 a teaspoon of Italian herbs 

Method:

1. marinate the salmon in olive oil and herbs for about 20 minutes 
2. heat a little olive oil in a pan add salmon and poach with the lid on for 3-5 minutes 
3. slowly add the spinach and let it wilt, it will cook nicely and be flavored with the garlic 
4. meanwhile cook the quinoa they often come with a seasoning packet I use 1/2 to limit sodium. 
5. cook salmon and spinach 3 more minutes and then serve :-)
