INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/4 bunch Asparagus
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley, dill)
2 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Trim the asparagus and toss with 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender.
While the asparagus roasts, rinse the quinoa and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, stir in lemon juice, fresh herbs, and a pinch of salt.
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just opaque and flaky.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of lemon-herb quinoa and roasted asparagus for a balanced, flavorful meal.
