Seared Salmon with Roasted Broccoli and Quinoa
Savor this light and flavorful dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with tender roasted broccoli and a modest portion of fluffy quinoa. The dish offers a balance of protein and wholesome carbs, accented with a hint of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon for a fresh finish.
INGREDIENTS
1 salmon fillet (5 oz, ~141 g)
0.6 cup cooked quinoa (~108 g)
1 cup broccoli (~91 g)
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Toss the broccoli florets with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for about 15-18 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the salmon on each side for about 3-4 minutes, cooking until the exterior is nicely browned and the center is just opaque.
Prepare the cooked quinoa if not already done, and fluff with a fork. Stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt if desired.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted broccoli and a serving of quinoa.
Finish with an optional squeeze more lemon juice over the salmon for extra brightness before serving.
