INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Cooked Lentils
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half the olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a crust forms.
Flip the salmon and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils and quinoa. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss gently.
While preparing the salad, steam the asparagus until tender (about 3-5 minutes) ensuring they remain bright green and crisp.
Plate the seared salmon fillet with a generous serving of the lentil-quinoa salad and arrange the steamed asparagus on the side.
Serve warm, and enjoy this nutrient-rich, balanced dinner.
