INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Snapper Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the snapper fillet and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the snapper fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for 3-4 minutes until a crispy golden crust forms.
Flip the fillet carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and arrange on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, add salt, and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 8-10 minutes until tender yet slightly crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with freshly chopped parsley.
Plate the snapper fillet alongside the roasted asparagus and 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa. Drizzle the lemon-parsley mixture over the fish and asparagus for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed dish.
