Seared Salmon Fillet with Garlic Green Beans and Quinoa
Enjoy a delicate seared salmon paired with crisp garlic-infused green beans and fluffy quinoa. This vibrant dish delivers a harmonious combination of flavors and textures, balancing the richness of the salmon with the freshness of the vegetables and the nutty essence of quinoa.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Green Beans
0.25 cup Quinoa (dry)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic clove
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the quinoa with water (use a 1:2 ratio, about 0.5 cup water for 0.25 cup quinoa) and a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed, fluffing with a fork.
While the quinoa is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper.
Add half of the olive oil to the skillet and sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the exterior is golden and the interior is just cooked through.
In another pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant for about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and a pinch of salt, cooking for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
Plate the flaked salmon alongside the garlic green beans and a serving of quinoa. Serve immediately.
