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.

Heat ½ teaspoon olive oil in the skillet until shimmering but not smoking. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then sear 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, or until desired doneness.

To serve, divide the cooked spinach between 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.
