Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Fluffy Quinoa and Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a vibrant plate featuring a delicately crisp pan-seared salmon paired with fluffy quinoa and tender roasted asparagus. The dish is brightened with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon, perfectly balancing textures and flavors for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
6 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for the asparagus.
Place the asparagus spears on a baking sheet, drizzle with half of the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender.
While the asparagus roasts, rinse the quinoa and combine with water according to package directions to achieve a fluffy texture.
Pat dry the salmon fillet and season both sides with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Heat the remaining olive oil in 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 until a crispy crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it reaches your preferred doneness.
Drizzle lemon juice over the salmon during the final minute of cooking.
Plate the salmon alongside the cooked quinoa and roasted asparagus. Optionally garnish with additional lemon if desired.
