ہدایات
Make the tartare cream by combining sour cream, mayo, capers, dill, lemon juice, and shallot. Refrigerate.
Tip: Make this ahead for flavors to develop.
Pat salmon fillets dry and brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Tip: Room temperature fish cooks more evenly.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Tip: A clean, well-oiled grill prevents fish from tearing.
Grill salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook 3-4 minutes more.
Tip: Do not overcook; salmon should be slightly pink in center.
While salmon rests, quickly saute spinach in olive oil until just wilted.
Tip: Only 1-2 minutes; spinach cooks fast.
Serve salmon over spinach with tartare cream and lemon wedges.
Tip: A squeeze of grilled lemon adds amazing flavor.
