INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes to achieve a crispy exterior. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Lay them on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, mix the cooked quinoa in a bowl with fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and finely chopped parsley for a burst of herbaceous flavor.
Plate the quinoa as a base, top with the crispy salmon, and arrange the roasted asparagus alongside.
Finish with a light drizzle of extra lemon juice over the salmon and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner!
