INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 tbsp Dry Quinoa
1/2 cup Asparagus
1/2 tsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, add the measured quinoa with a little water (just enough to cover) and bring to a gentle simmer until the quinoa is lightly puffed and water is absorbed, about 8-10 minutes. Once done, fluff with a fork.
While quinoa is cooking, preheat a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, in the heated skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes per side or until a golden crust forms and the salmon is cooked through but still moist inside.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus. Place asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
For a light finishing touch, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Drizzle this over the salmon just before serving.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a small serving of quinoa. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
