INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon Fillet (156g)
1 cup Broccoli (156g)
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa (92g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillet during the last minute of cooking.
While the salmon cooks, steam the broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. For a quick solution, warm the pre-cooked quinoa gently in a microwave or on the stovetop.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed broccoli and quinoa. Garnish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired, and serve immediately.
