Enjoy a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with delicate herb-infused quinoa and vibrant steamed asparagus.

INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
6 Asparagus Spears
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Fresh Dill
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and pepper. Rub lightly with a crushed garlic clove and drizzle with olive oil.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the salmon fillet skin-side down for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and sear for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the quinoa. If not pre-cooked, rinse 1/4 cup dry quinoa and combine with water (use a 1:2 ratio). Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered until water is absorbed (about 15 minutes). Stir in chopped fresh parsley and dill.
Steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over simmering water for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the herb quinoa and steamed asparagus. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon for a bright finish and serve immediately.
