Seared Salmon with Steamed Broccoli and Quinoa
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dinner featuring perfectly seared salmon paired with tender steamed broccoli and a delicate portion of quinoa.

The seared salmon delivers a rich, savory flavor while the fresh broccoli adds a vibrant crunch, all complemented by the subtle nuttiness of quinoa.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon Fillet (156g)
1 cup Broccoli (156g)
0.25 cup cooked Quinoa (43g)
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon 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 is cooking, steam the broccoli by placing it in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Prepare the quinoa if not already cooked. For a quick cook, combine rinsed quinoa with water in a small pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Measure out 0.25 cup of the cooked quinoa for the serving.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed broccoli and the measured quinoa. Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the top for brightness if desired, and serve immediately.
