INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup chopped Asparagus
1/4 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
A squeeze of Lemon
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily.
While the salmon cooks, steam or lightly sauté the chopped asparagus for about 2-3 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Warm the cooked quinoa, ensuring it is evenly heated.
Plate the quinoa as a bed, arrange the asparagus alongside, then top with the seared salmon.
Finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon over the salmon for an extra burst of flavor.
