INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Green Beans
1/2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the rinsed quinoa with water (use the package's recommended liquid ratio) and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
While the quinoa cooks, trim the green beans and steam them until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Once steamed, toss with a drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic, and the chopped fresh herbs.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the salmon on the skin side first for about 3 minutes until golden and crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Plate the dish by placing a bed of cooked quinoa, arranging the seared salmon on top, and adding a side of the herb-garlic green beans. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon for extra brightness before serving.
