INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
6 spears Asparagus
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Rinse the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down, pressing lightly to ensure even contact with the pan.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
Prepare the quinoa if not already cooked. Reheat if necessary.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of quinoa, drizzle with lemon juice, and serve immediately.
