Baked Salmon with Lemon Asparagus and Quinoa
Savor the delicate flavors of oven-baked salmon paired with crisp, zesty lemon asparagus and a hearty serving of nutty quinoa. This dish brings together vibrant ingredients and a splash of citrus to create a balanced, delicious meal that's light yet satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the salmon fillet on a lined baking tray. Drizzle with half a teaspoon of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Arrange the asparagus spears around the salmon. Toss them lightly with a squeeze of lemon juice, minced garlic, and an extra pinch of salt.
Place a few lemon slices (or a drizzle of additional lemon juice) over the salmon for added citrus flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. Use about 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa as a bed for serving.
Plate the quinoa, top with the baked salmon and asparagus, and garnish with any remaining lemon zest if desired.
