This plate marries rich, tender fish with delicate grains and fresh greens, finished with a light lemon vinaigrette for a balanced, wholesome dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil for Searing
1 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil for Quinoa Drizzle
1 cup Sautéed Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil for Sautéing Spinach
1/2 Avocado
1 tsp Olive Oil for Lemon Vinaigrette
2 cloves Minced Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the fish is cooked to your liking.
In a separate pot, combine rinsed quinoa with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is fluffy, about 15 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of olive oil for a subtle garlic flavor.
While quinoa cooks, heat another small pan over medium heat with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Sauté the spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes, and season with a pinch of salt.
For the dressing, combine lemon juice with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle this over the finished salmon.
Assemble the plate by placing quinoa and sautéed spinach, then top with the seared salmon. Add sliced half avocado on the side and drizzle any remaining dressing over the dish.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutritious dinner.
