Seared Salmon with Roasted Broccoli and Quinoa
Enjoy a delicate balance of seared salmon paired with crisp roasted broccoli and a light serving of quinoa. The dish features perfectly seared salmon with a slight golden crust, tender roasted broccoli seasoned to perfection, and nutty quinoa that ties the plate together for a satisfying, nutrient-dense dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Broccoli
1/8 cup dry Quinoa
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the broccoli.
Season the broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil (optional), salt, and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
Spread the broccoli on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until edges are crispy and tender.
While the broccoli roasts, pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon, skin-side down first if applicable, for about 3-4 minutes per side or until a golden crust forms and the salmon is just cooked through.
In a small saucepan, add the quinoa along with water (using a 1:2 quinoa-to-water ratio) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for about 12-15 minutes until water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
Plate the dish by placing the seared salmon alongside the roasted broccoli and a small serving of quinoa. Serve with a wedge of lemon on the side for added brightness.
