Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon-Herb Quinoa
Savor a perfectly crispy seared salmon paired with tender roasted asparagus and refreshing lemon-herb quinoa. The combination delivers a light yet satisfying meal that balances rich, flaky salmon with the zesty brightness of lemon and freshly chopped herbs.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
PREPARATION
Pat dry the salmon fillet using paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with a tiny drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until tender.
While the asparagus roasts, heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon, 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 3-4 minutes, depending on thickness, until just cooked through.
In a small bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley; stir well to distribute the flavors.
Plate the salmon fillet alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of lemon-herb quinoa. Serve immediately for a delightful and balanced meal.
