Ingredients

Instructions

1. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
2. Pat the salmon fillets dry, rub them with a little olive oil, and season with sea salt and black pepper.
3. Place the salmon in the hot pan in a single layer and cook 1 minute per side. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same pan over the same heat, add 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil, then the onion and garlic. Stir constantly until the onion is translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Add the paprika and cumin and stir quickly. Add the finely grated tomatoes, stir, then simmer without stirring.
6. Roughly chop the spinach.
7. When the grated tomato has slightly thickened, about 4 minutes, add the spinach in batches, stirring until it wilts. Do not overcrowd the pan.
8. Once all the spinach is lightly wilted, season with sea salt and black pepper and stir. Return the salmon to the pan in a single layer, cover with a lid and simmer.
9. Make the aioli: in a mortar, crush the 2 cloves of garlic with the saffron and a pinch of sea salt with a pestle into a paste. Mix in the mayonnaise, lemon juice and 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper, and stir until creamy.
10. When the salmon is fully cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes, remove from the heat, transfer to serving dishes and top with the saffron aioli. Serve immediately.
