INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 medium Lemon (for juice)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin becomes crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F and toss the asparagus with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Heat the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan over low heat. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice and stir to combine.
Plate the quinoa as the base, top with the seared salmon, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
