Step-by-Step Instructions to Make High-Protein Salmon & Scrambled Eggs Power Plate

Step 1: Cook the Salmon

1. Season the salmon: Pat dry the salmon fillet and season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Heat the pan: In a skillet, heat ½ tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sear the salmon: Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the skin turns crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and flaky.
4. Check doneness: The salmon should reach an internal temperature of 125°F (medium-rare) to 145°F (fully cooked). Remove from heat and let it rest.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

1. Whisk the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
2. Melt butter: Heat ½ tbsp butter or olive oil in a non-stick pan over low heat.
3. Cook gently: Pour in the eggs and stir continuously with a spatula, folding them gently as they cook.
4. Remove from heat: Once the eggs are soft, creamy, and slightly undercooked, remove them from the pan. The residual heat will continue cooking them.

Step 3: Sauté the Greens & Green Beans

1. Prepare the green beans: Trim the ends and wash them thoroughly.
2. Sauté the beans: In the same pan used for salmon, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the green beans for 3-4 minutes until they become tender-crisp.
3. Add the spinach: Toss in ½ cup of fresh spinach, cooking for 30 seconds until just wilted.
4. Season to taste: Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and red pepper flakes if you like a hint of spice.

Step 4: Roast the Tomato

1. Cut the tomato: Slice the tomato in half.
2. Sear the tomato: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and place the tomato cut-side down.
3. Caramelize the surface: Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred and softened.

Step 5: Assemble & Serve

1. Arrange on a plate: Place the grilled salmon, scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach, green beans, and roasted tomato on a plate.
2. Optional garnishes: Add a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or dill) or a drizzle of fresh lemon juice for extra brightness.
