INGREDIENTS
4 oz Atlantic Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Herbs (dill or parsley)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by rinsing the quinoa under cold water. Cook it according to package instructions. Once cooked, toss the quinoa with finely minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of lemon juice to infuse a light garlicky flavor.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until just cooked through.
While the salmon is searing, steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
For the finishing touch, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with lemon juice and chopped fresh herbs. This will serve as a tangy, protein-rich drizzle to complement the salmon.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of garlic quinoa and steamed asparagus. Drizzle with the herbed yogurt sauce and serve immediately.
