INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
3/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Roasted Asparagus
3 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F for the asparagus.
Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Let it rest for a few minutes.
Lightly toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the asparagus roasts, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon, skin-side down first if applicable, for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a crispy exterior forms and the inside reaches your desired doneness.
In a small bowl, mix the plain nonfat Greek yogurt with lemon juice and a tiny pinch of garlic powder to create a light, creamy sauce.
Plate the dish by spooning the creamy quinoa as a base. Arrange the seared salmon on top, and place the roasted asparagus alongside.
Drizzle the yogurt-lemon sauce over the salmon and quinoa. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
