Seared Salmon with Quinoa and Lemon-Garlic Asparagus
Savor a vibrant, well-balanced dish featuring perfectly seared salmon, fluffy quinoa, and crisp asparagus tossed in a zesty lemon-garlic olive oil dressing. This dish not only delights with its fresh, bright flavors but is also designed to meet precise protein and calorie goals.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1 Garlic clove (minced)
PREPARATION
Start by patting the salmon fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly crisp on the outside.
While the salmon is cooking, bring a small pot of water to a simmer and blanch the asparagus for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain.
In a bowl, combine the blanched asparagus with the lemon juice and minced garlic.
Warm the cooked quinoa gently if needed and plate it alongside the seared salmon.
Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the salmon and serve with the lemon-garlic asparagus on the side.
