INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
6 Spears Asparagus
1 cup Cauliflower
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the center is just opaque.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Steam the cauliflower florets until soft, roughly 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and mash with the minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until you achieve a creamy consistency.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions, typically by simmering in water for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
Plate the seared salmon alongside steamed asparagus, a generous serving of cauliflower mash, and a side of quinoa. Garnish with an extra dash of lemon juice if desired.
