Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Quinoa
Enjoy a perfectly balanced dinner featuring a tender seared salmon fillet paired with crisp steamed asparagus and fluffy quinoa. This dish offers a harmonious blend of flavors with a light lemon zest finish, ideal for a nourishing yet delightful meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup steamed Asparagus
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon wedge
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon is searing, steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Reheat or fluff the pre-cooked quinoa by warming it gently in a microwave or on the stovetop.
Plate the salmon alongside the quinoa and steamed asparagus, and garnish with a fresh lemon wedge.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the salmon just before serving for an added burst of flavor.
