INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
8 asparagus spears
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, toss the steamed asparagus with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Prepare the cooked quinoa as per package instructions if not already done.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a serving of quinoa. Garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
