Enjoy a delightful plate featuring a perfectly crispy 5-ounce salmon fillet paired with fluffy lemon-herb quinoa and garlicky green beans. This dish beautifully balances vibrant citrus notes with a satisfying crunch, making it a wholesome and delicious meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet (with skin)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Green Beans
1/2 Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel, ensuring the skin is as dry as possible to achieve maximum crispiness.
Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down and press gently to avoid curling.
Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on the skin side until the skin becomes beautifully crispy, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm the cooked quinoa with a squeeze of lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the green beans with minced garlic until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Optionally, add a tiny drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Plate the quinoa as the base, arrange the garlicky green beans beside it, and top with the crispy skin salmon. Drizzle any remaining lemon juice over the salmon and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
