Seared Salmon with Steamed Broccoli and Lemon Zest Quinoa
A vibrant, nutrient-packed dinner featuring perfectly seared salmon paired with tender steamed broccoli and a zesty lemon quinoa. This dish balances lean protein with fresh vegetables and a citrus kick for an appealing, light yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 medium Lemon
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the rinsed quinoa with water (use the proper liquid ratio as per quinoa package instructions) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
While quinoa is cooking, prepare the broccoli by rinsing and cutting it into florets. Steam the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet skin side down. Sear for about 3-4 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon finishes cooking, zest the lemon and squeeze a little lemon juice over the warm quinoa to infuse a bright, citrusy flavor.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed broccoli and a serving of lemon zest quinoa. Serve immediately.
