INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/3 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized florets. Toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the broccoli on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, combine quinoa with water (using a 1:2 ratio), bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork once done.
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and press lightly with a spatula to ensure even contact. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Plate a serving of quinoa, top with the crispy pan-seared salmon, and add a generous serving of roasted broccoli on the side. Serve immediately.
