Seared Salmon with Garlicky Quinoa and Sautéed Asparagus
Enjoy a beautifully balanced dinner featuring perfectly seared salmon paired with garlicky quinoa and tender sautéed asparagus. This dish offers a medley of flavors enhanced by a hint of garlic and a subtle squeeze of lemon, all while keeping your macros in check.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon Fillet
2/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon Wedge
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet and sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms and the fish is cooked to your preferred doneness.
While the salmon cooks, rinse the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Sauté the asparagus in a separate pan over medium heat. You can use a splash of water or a light mist of cooking spray, seasoning with salt and pepper, for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Warm the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan. In a separate small pan, lightly sauté a minced garlic clove in a few drops of water or optional spray until fragrant, then stir the garlic into the quinoa. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the quinoa for a fresh zest.
Plate the salmon alongside the garlicky quinoa and sautéed asparagus. Garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve warm.
