INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
5 Asparagus Spears
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
0.25 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes, then flip the fillet and sear for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
While the salmon cooks, warm the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan with the minced garlic, stirring over low heat until the garlic is fragrant and the quinoa is heated evenly.
Lightly steam or sauté the asparagus spears until tender-crisp.
Plate the quinoa as a bed, arrange the salmon on top, and add the asparagus on the side. Squeeze the lemon wedge over the salmon for a bright finish and serve immediately.
