Seared Salmon with Steamed Broccoli and Quinoa
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dinner featuring pan-seared salmon paired with vibrant, steamed broccoli and a fluffy bed of quinoa. The delicate flavor of the salmon is enhanced by a gentle sear, while the quinoa and broccoli add a nutritious burst of texture and color.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Steamed Broccoli Florets
1 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the quinoa: rinse quinoa under cold water, then combine with water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
While the quinoa is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the salmon to the hot skillet, skin side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes. Flip gently and cook for another 3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Steam the broccoli: either use a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5 minutes or microwave with a little water in a covered bowl until tender.
To finish, plate the quinoa and top with the seared salmon and steamed broccoli. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the top for an extra richness.
