INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
1/2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Lemon Wedge
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1/2 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon fillet in the pan, skin-side down if applicable. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon is just cooked through but still moist in the center.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not pre-cooked. Typically, simmer 1/2 cup quinoa in water for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
Steam the broccoli until tender yet vibrant green, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the salmon alongside the quinoa and steamed broccoli. Squeeze the lemon wedge over the salmon for a bright finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed dinner.
