Seared Salmon with Roasted Broccoli and Lemon-Herb Quinoa
Enjoy a vibrant plate of perfectly seared salmon paired with tender roasted broccoli and a zesty lemon-herb quinoa. This dish balances the richness of the salmon with the fresh, tangy flavors of lemon and parsley, making it a delightful, nutrient-packed dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
0.25 tsp Olive Oil
0.2 cup dry Quinoa
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
0.5 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and then combine it with water in a small pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed (about 12-15 minutes). Once cooked, stir in the juice of 1/2 lemon, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt.
While the quinoa cooks, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli with a light spray of non-stick cooking spray or a minimal drizzle of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 0.25 teaspoon of olive oil. Sear the salmon skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted broccoli and a serving of lemon-herb quinoa. Squeeze extra lemon juice over the salmon for an added burst of flavor if desired.
