INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Roasted Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon
2 Tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley or Dill)
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily. Remove from the pan and set aside.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the quinoa by tossing it with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped herbs. Adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
For the asparagus, toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Plate the lemon herb quinoa as a base, lay the salmon on top, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Garnish with a drizzle of extra lemon juice if desired and serve immediately.
