Enjoy a refined dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with crisp steamed asparagus and a delicate portion of quinoa.

INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/8 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup steamed Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
While the salmon is cooking, steam the asparagus until tender, roughly 4-5 minutes.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa gently, then toss with lemon juice and a pinch of salt if desired.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a small serving of quinoa. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the salmon and enjoy immediately.
