Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon-Herb Quinoa
Savor a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet with a crispy crust, paired with tender roasted asparagus and a zesty lemon-herb quinoa. This dish delivers a satisfying balance of flavors and textures, from the savory, flaky fish to the vibrant, citrus-infused quinoa, making it a delightful and nourishing meal.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (from 1 lemon wedge)
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Dill and Parsley)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp at the edges.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, and finely minced garlic.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil. Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the exterior is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness.
In a separate small pot, warm the cooked quinoa. Stir in lemon juice and freshly chopped dill and parsley.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and lemon-herb quinoa. Garnish with additional fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
