INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
0.75 cup Cooked Quinoa
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure to use a nonstick surface to minimize the need for added oil.
Season the salmon fillet with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Reheat or prepare the pre-cooked quinoa according to package instructions if needed.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and serve with the quinoa. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon for added brightness before serving.
