Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Quinoa
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dinner featuring a perfectly seared 5-ounce salmon fillet, tender steamed asparagus, and a small serving of fluffy quinoa. This dish strikes the perfect balance between lean protein and whole grains, ideal for a clean eating approach and fitness goals.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
5 spears Fresh Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down (if it has skin) and sear for about 3 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon is cooking, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam them for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Prepare the quinoa if not already cooked. Warm the pre-cooked quinoa gently in a microwave or on the stovetop.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a serving of quinoa, and enjoy a balanced dinner that perfectly aligns with your nutritional goals.
