Enjoy a beautifully balanced dish featuring a crispy skin salmon fillet expertly pan-seared to lock in flavor, accompanied by tender roasted asparagus and a light serving of quinoa. The contrast between the crisp, savory skin and the delicate, flaky fish, complemented by the fresh, roasted vegetables and nutty quinoa, creates a meal that's as satisfying as it is nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet with Skin
100 grams Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil (for Asparagus)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for Pan-Searing)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasting the asparagus.
Rinse the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Toss them in a small bowl with 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel to ensure extra crispy skin. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, place the salmon fillet skin-side down. Press gently with a spatula to prevent curling.
Sear the salmon for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden. Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of 1/2 cup cooked quinoa.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious, nutrient-balanced meal.
