Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make High-Protein Salmon & Scrambled Eggs Power Plate
Step 1: Cook the Salmon
Season the salmon: Pat dry the salmon fillet and season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the pan: In a skillet, heat ½ tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
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.
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
Whisk the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Melt butter: Heat ½ tbsp butter or olive oil in a non-stick pan over low heat.
Cook gently: Pour in the eggs and stir continuously with a spatula, folding them gently as they cook.
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
Prepare the green beans: Trim the ends and wash them thoroughly.
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.
Add the spinach: Toss in ½ cup of fresh spinach, cooking for 30 seconds until just wilted.
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
Cut the tomato: Slice the tomato in half.
Sear the tomato: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and place the tomato cut-side down.
Caramelize the surface: Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred and softened.
Step 5: Assemble & Serve
Arrange on a plate: Place the grilled salmon, scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach, green beans, and roasted tomato on a plate.
Optional garnishes: Add a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or dill) or a drizzle of fresh lemon juice for extra brightness.

Notes
Cooking Note
Use fresh salmon whenever possible for the best flavor and texture.
Cook eggs on low heat to achieve creamy, custard-like scrambled eggs.
Don’t overcook the salmon, as it can dry out quickly. Medium doneness is perfect!
