Seared Salmon with Quinoa & Avocado Chickpea Salsa
Enjoy a vibrant and flavorful dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with light, fluffy quinoa and a zesty avocado chickpea salsa. The char from the salmon perfectly complements the creamy avocado and bright citrus notes of the salsa, creating a balanced dish that's as nutritious as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Salmon Fillet
½ cup cooked Quinoa
¼ medium Avocado
¼ cup Chickpeas
¼ cup Diced Tomato
1 Tbsp diced Red Onion
1 Tbsp Lime Juice
1 Tbsp chopped Cilantro
PREPARATION
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil (optional, not included in nutritional breakdown) in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just opaque in the center. Remove from the pan and let rest.
In a bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced tomato, red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Gently dice the ¼ avocado and add to the mixture. Toss lightly to create the salsa, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Plate the dish by spreading the cooked quinoa as the base. Place the seared salmon fillet on top of the quinoa, and top with a generous serving of the avocado chickpea salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
