Seared Salmon with Garlic Green Beans and Quinoa
Enjoy a beautifully seared salmon paired with bright garlic-infused green beans and a light serving of quinoa. This dish brings an elegant balance of flavors with perfectly crisped fish, tender-crisp green beans, and nutty quinoa that together create a satisfying, well-rounded dinner.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Green Beans
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
2 cloves Garlic
2 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon in the skillet, skin side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through.
Meanwhile, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes until tender-crisp, then transfer to an ice bath to keep their vibrant color.
In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic (from 2 cloves) and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the pan with garlic, tossing to coat well. Warm them for about 2 minutes and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Reheat the pre-cooked quinoa if necessary, ensuring it is fluffy and warm.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the garlic green beans and a side of quinoa. Serve immediately.
