INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, then season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque in the center. Squeeze lemon juice over the salmon during the last minute of cooking.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over simmering water for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Heat the pre-cooked quinoa to serving temperature if needed, either in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a serving of quinoa. Optionally drizzle a bit more lemon juice on top for an extra fresh burst of flavor.
