INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin becomes crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon in the last minute of cooking.
While the salmon is searing, steam the broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5-6 minutes until tender but still vibrant.
Prepare the quinoa pilaf according to package instructions if not pre-cooked, or warm up ½ cup of cooked quinoa.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed broccoli and a serving of quinoa pilaf. Serve immediately, enjoying the combination of flavors and textures.
