Ingredients

  • 5 ounces spinach
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Lemon wedge for squeezing
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently. The garlic should become fragrant but should not brown.
  • Add the spinach and sea salt, tossing continuously with tongs or a spatula. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the spinach begins to wilt but still retains its vibrant green color.
  • Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking. Season with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. Serve warm.
