INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the quinoa: rinse 1/2 cup of quinoa under cold water, then combine with water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
While the quinoa cooks, bring a pot of water to a simmer and steam the broccoli for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet still vibrant and crisp.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and allow it to warm.
Season the salmon fillet with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon in the hot skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 4 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the cooked quinoa and steamed broccoli. Optionally, garnish with a squeeze of lemon if desired.
