Savor this delightful plate featuring perfectly seared salmon paired with tender steamed broccoli and fluffy quinoa. The dish is balanced, colorful, and inviting, offering a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that mark a satisfying and nutritious dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup steamed Broccoli
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, add the quinoa and water (using a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to water), bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
While the quinoa cooks, season the salmon fillet on both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, place the salmon fillet in the skillet skin-side down (if applicable). Sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Steam the broccoli by placing it in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, covering and cooking for about 5-6 minutes until tender yet vibrant in color.
Plate the cooked quinoa, top with the seared salmon, and add a serving of steamed broccoli on the side. Serve immediately while warm.
