Seared Salmon with Steamed Broccoli and Quinoa
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dinner featuring delicately seared salmon paired with vibrant steamed broccoli and fluffy quinoa. The dish offers a gentle balance of ocean-fresh flavors, earthy quinoa, and tender-crisp broccoli, making it a delightful, nourishing meal.
INGREDIENTS
1.9 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup steamed Broccoli
1/3 cup dry Quinoa
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water before cooking. In a small pot, combine 1/3 cup dry quinoa with water (use a 2:1 water-to-quinoa ratio) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.
While quinoa is cooking, prepare the broccoli. Steam 1 cup of broccoli florets until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, place the 1.9 oz salmon fillet skin-side down if applicable and sear for approximately 2 minutes, then gently flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the salmon is just opaque in the center.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed broccoli and a serving of quinoa. Enjoy this balanced dinner as a nourishing meal.
