Seared Salmon with Steamed Broccoli and Quinoa
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with tender steamed broccoli and fluffy quinoa. This dish balances rich, savory flavors with a hint of citrus and pepper, creating a wholesome meal that's both energizing and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
While the salmon cooks, steam the broccoli until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Prepare the quinoa as per package instructions if not pre-cooked; typically, simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
Plate the quinoa as a base, arrange the steamed broccoli beside it, and top with the seared salmon fillet.
Optionally, finish with a squeeze of lemon over the salmon for an extra burst of flavor.
