Seared Salmon with Asparagus and Lemon Herb Quinoa
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dinner featuring perfectly seared salmon accompanied by tender asparagus and a zesty lemon herb quinoa. This dish offers a delightful balance of rich, savory flavors with a refreshing citrus finish, creating a meal that's both vibrant and nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
5.25 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon wedge
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon is searing, steam or lightly sauté the asparagus until tender yet still crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with freshly squeezed lemon juice from the lemon wedge and chopped parsley. Stir to distribute the flavors evenly.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the asparagus and a serving of lemon herb quinoa. Garnish with an extra drizzle of lemon if desired, and serve immediately.
