Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon Herb Quinoa
Enjoy a vibrant and nutrient-dense dinner featuring perfectly seared salmon paired with tender steamed asparagus and zesty lemon herb quinoa. This dish balances rich, buttery salmon with the bright, citrus-infused quinoa, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that are both satisfying and wholesome.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
0.67 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 Lemon
2 Tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, sear the salmon skin-side down for about 3-4 minutes until crisp.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh herbs. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a serving of lemon herb quinoa. Garnish with extra herbs or a lemon wedge if desired, and serve immediately.
