INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Broccoli
1 tbsp Quinoa (dry)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the teaspoon of olive oil.
Season the 7 oz salmon fillet with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) in the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is just opaque in the center. Remove from skillet and drizzle with lemon juice.
Meanwhile, steam 1 cup of broccoli until tender yet crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Rinse 1 tablespoon of dry quinoa under cold water and then cook it in a small saucepan with a splash of water, bringing it to a simmer and covering for about 10-12 minutes until fluffy.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed broccoli and a small portion of cooked quinoa. Serve immediately.
