Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Quinoa
Savor perfectly crispy pan-seared salmon paired with tender, roasted asparagus and a light serving of fluffy quinoa. This balanced dish brings together a medley of textures and vibrant flavors, making it a satisfying meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillet. Season with a pinch of salt and dash of black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and continue cooking the salmon for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
Meanwhile, trim the asparagus ends and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for approximately 10 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
For the quinoa, if not pre-cooked, rinse 0.5 cup quinoa under cold water, then combine with water in a small pot (use a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to water). Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of quinoa. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious meal!
