INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon Fillet (156g)
1 cup Broccoli, raw (91g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (93g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Lightly season the broccoli with salt and pepper. Optionally, you can lightly mist with olive oil if desired, or use minimal oil to keep calories in check.
Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and a bit crispy on the edges.
While the broccoli roasts, season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if it has skin) or presentation side down, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until desired doneness is reached.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. For a quick heat-up, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a microwave or in a saucepan.
Plate the salmon with a side of roasted broccoli and a serving of quinoa. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon before serving for extra brightness.
