Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Quinoa
Savor a perfectly crisp salmon fillet paired with tender roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa. This dish offers a delightful balance of textures and flavors, from the savory, crispy exterior of the pan-seared salmon to the fresh, zesty asparagus and aromatic quinoa. A touch of lemon and olive oil enhances each bite, making it as visually appealing as it is nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasting the asparagus.
Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillet. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and once shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes until the skin becomes crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until done to your preference.
While the salmon cooks, trim the tough ends from the asparagus. Toss with a little salt and pepper, and place on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small pot or microwave until heated through.
Plate the quinoa as the base, top with the crispy salmon, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side.
Drizzle lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus just before serving for a bright, refreshing finish.
