Seared Salmon with Roasted Broccoli and Quinoa
Enjoy a light, nutrient-packed dinner featuring perfectly seared salmon paired with tender roasted broccoli and a side of fluffy quinoa. This balanced plate is designed to satisfy your taste buds while aligning with your protein and calorie goals.
INGREDIENTS
5.75 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Broccoli
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the broccoli.
Rinse and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Spread them on the prepared baking sheet.
Season the broccoli lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Roast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the broccoli roasts, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine 1/2 cup cooked quinoa (or cook quinoa from dry as per package instructions for a half-cup serving) and keep warm.
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
Plate the seared salmon next to the roasted broccoli and a serving of quinoa. Drizzle any remaining lemon juice over the salmon if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
