INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp diced Red Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) in the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to turn opaque.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced red onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly.
Stir in the cooked quinoa to combine with the sautéed vegetables and heat through for another minute. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Plate the quinoa pilaf as a base and top with the flaky salmon fillet. Serve immediately.
