Seared Salmon with Citrus Rice and Roasted Sweet Potato
Savor the fresh flavors of this light yet protein-packed dinner. Seared salmon is enhanced with a bright citrus marinade, served alongside a modest portion of fluffy brown rice and tender roasted sweet potato. A dollop of tangy Greek yogurt citrus sauce ties the dish together for a refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/8 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/3 small Sweet Potato
1/3 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (mixed with lemon)
A squeeze of Lemon
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice for bright flavor.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the diced sweet potato with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender.
For the rice, heat a small saucepan and warm the pre-cooked brown rice (or prepare ahead of time) with a bit of lemon zest to infuse a subtle citrus note. Use just enough to measure 1/8 cup serving.
Prepare the citrus yogurt sauce by mixing the nonfat Greek yogurt with a bit of lemon zest and a few drops of lemon juice.
Plate the salmon alongside the warm rice and roasted sweet potato. Top the salmon or serve on the side with a dollop of the citrus yogurt sauce.
Garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired, and enjoy your light, balanced dinner.
