INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for salmon)
1/2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for asparagus)
1/2 Lemon
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (chopped)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked; set aside once fluffy.
Trim the asparagus ends, toss them in 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, pat dry the salmon fillet. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, then place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) or presentation side down.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is just cooked through.
Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon over the salmon during the last minute of cooking, and scatter additional fresh herbs for flavor.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of fluffy quinoa, drizzling any remaining lemon-herb dressing over the top.
