INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/8 cup dry Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and cook it according to package instructions. For this recipe, use 1/8 cup of dry quinoa to yield about 1/2 cup cooked. Set aside once done.
Season the 7-ounce salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and a little lemon juice for extra brightness.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus in a steamer or in a covered pan with a small amount of water for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet still crisp.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and quinoa. Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the salmon for an extra zing, and serve immediately.
