Seared Salmon with Wilted Citrus Spinach

2 oranges and zest, divided
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
4 to 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), divided
4 salmon filets (about 6 ounces each)
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Salt and black pepper
1 bag of spinach
After zesting the grapefruit and oranges, slice the peel and pith off, cut fruit into slices and reserve!.
Preheat a small skillet over medium heat to toast the slivered almonds!.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a few turns of the pan of EVOO, about 3 tablespoons!. Season the fish filets with salt and pepper, and transfer to the hot skillet!. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness!.
Meanwhile, preheat another large skillet with two turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons, over medium heat!. Add the red onion, the orange and grapefruit zest, mustard and white wine vinegar!.
