INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
6 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Dill)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for the asparagus and set aside a small baking tray.
Season the salmon fillet generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon in the skillet, skin side down if applicable, and sear for approximately 3-4 minutes until the exterior is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and arrange them on the baking tray. Roast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until tender.
In a small saucepan, gently reheat the cooked quinoa. Stir in the lemon juice and fresh herbs, mixing well to incorporate the zesty flavors.
Plate the quinoa as a bed, top with the crispy salmon, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top if desired.
