Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon-Herb Roasted Asparagus and Quinoa
Savor a plate of crispy pan-seared salmon paired with vibrant lemon-herb roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa. This dish offers a delightful balance of textures and flavors, from the crisp exterior of the salmon to the tender, tangy asparagus, all rounded out with nutty quinoa for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
6 Asparagus Spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 tbsp Fresh Dill
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the asparagus spears on the tray, drizzle with olive oil, squeeze half a lemon over them, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh dill. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender yet slightly crisp.
While the asparagus is roasting, season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a light drizzle of lemon juice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and the exterior is crispy.
Warm the cooked quinoa if needed, or serve at room temperature.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of quinoa. Garnish with additional fresh dill or a light lemon drizzle if desired, and serve immediately.
