INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1 oz whole wheat pasta (dry)
1.25 cups steamed broccoli
1/2 tsp olive oil
1/2 lemon
1 garlic clove
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned and just cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, boil water in a small pot and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small saucepan, combine the minced garlic, juice from 1/2 lemon, and 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Warm gently over low heat to infuse the flavors without burning the garlic.
Toss the cooked pasta with the lemon garlic mixture to evenly coat.
Steam the broccoli until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the pasta, top with the seared salmon, and add a side of steamed broccoli. Squeeze a little extra lemon over the salmon if desired.
