Seared Salmon Fillet with Herb-Quinoa and Steamed Broccoli
Enjoy a perfectly seared salmon fillet served alongside fragrant herb-infused quinoa and tender steamed broccoli. A light drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon elevate this dish to a flavorful, balanced meal that not only delights the taste buds but aligns perfectly with targeted protein and calorie goals.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup dry Quinoa
1 cup Broccoli
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
1 Lemon wedge
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry quinoa under cold water and cook according to package instructions until fluffy.
While the quinoa cooks, season the salmon fillet lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through with a crisp exterior.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli in a steamer basket or microwave until tender yet still vibrant, about 4-5 minutes.
In a small bowl, toss the cooked quinoa with 1 teaspoon olive oil and finely chopped fresh parsley. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the quinoa for a bright, zesty flavor.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the herb-quinoa and steamed broccoli. Garnish with additional parsley or a lemon wedge if desired and serve immediately.
