Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Quinoa
Enjoy a beautifully balanced dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet, delicately steamed asparagus, and a side of fluffy quinoa. This simple yet elegant plate offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors, enhanced with a touch of lemon to brighten each bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 Lemon
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and combine it with water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed (about 12-15 minutes).
While the quinoa cooks, trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Steam the asparagus until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms. Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just cooked through.
Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the salmon, asparagus, and quinoa for a bright finishing touch. Plate the salmon alongside the asparagus and a serving of quinoa, and enjoy immediately.
