Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste
- 1 ripe plantain, sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions
- Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes. Flip it carefully and drizzle honey or maple syrup over it. Cook until caramelized (about 8-10 minutes total).
