Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. 

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, then add the onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute.

Add the spinach, toss, turn off the heat and cover to wilt. Season with salt and pepper. Add half of the lemon juice and zest, transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.

Meanwhile, heat ½ teaspoon olive oil in the skillet until shimmering, but not smoking. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Sear the fish skin-side up until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn the fish skin-side down and carefully pour in the white wine.  

Place pan in the oven for 5-6 minutes for medium doneness, or until done to your liking.

To serve, divide the spinach between the two plates and top each with a salmon fillet. Drizzle the plates with the remaining oil and lemon juice and finish with remaining lemon zest and basil.
