INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Broccoli, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 Garlic clove
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
On a baking sheet, toss the chopped broccoli with half a teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes or until tender and slightly crispy.
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a small pot, combine the quinoa with water (use the appropriate liquid-to-quinoa ratio) and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
While the quinoa cooks, pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Add a minced garlic clove to infuse flavor, then place the salmon skin-side down. Sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until the salmon develops a golden crust and is cooked to your liking.
In the last minute of quinoa cooking, stir in the juice of half a lemon to add brightness.
Plate the dish by placing a bed of lemon quinoa, top with roasted broccoli, and finish with the seared salmon. Garnish with additional lemon wedges if desired.
