INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is just cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a mixing bowl, toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 tsp olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, reheat or prepare cooked quinoa according to package instructions if not already prepared.
Plate the dish by placing the quinoa as a base, topping it with the pan-seared salmon, and arranging the roasted asparagus alongside. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of flavor.
