Enjoy a delicious dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet served alongside crisp garlic-flavored green beans and a fluffy bed of quinoa. This dish offers a balanced mix of lean protein and satisfying carbs, all elevated by a hint of citrus and garlic for that extra burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Green Beans
0.5 cup Quinoa, cooked
1.5 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the green beans. Blanch for about 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and crisp-tender, then drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the blanched green beans. Toss to coat in the garlic-infused oil and season with a pinch of salt.
For the quinoa, if not pre-cooked, follow package directions by simmering quinoa in water until fluffy; if pre-cooked, reheat gently.
Plate the quinoa first, then place the seared salmon fillet on top, and arrange the garlic green beans on the side. Drizzle with lemon juice for a fresh finish.
