4 salmon fillets, 5 ounces each
1 1/2 cups brown basmati rice
5 ounces baby spinach
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus black pepper

Instructions

Cook 1 1/2 cups brown basmati rice according to package directions. Keep warm, fluffing or separating it before serving. Combine 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice into a smooth sauce.
Pat 4 salmon fillets, 5 ounces each dry, then season with half of 1 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the main ingredient until it reaches 145°F and is just opaque; transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 5 ounces baby spinach and 1 pint cherry tomatoes. Cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Return the main ingredient, remove the skillet from the heat, add the sauce, and toss until evenly coated.
Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Divide the prepared base among four plates, add Turmeric salmon with spinach rice. Finish with 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves.
