INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
6 spears Asparagus
0.5 tsp Olive Oil (for salmon)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for asparagus)
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 0.5 tsp of olive oil for the salmon.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus spears with 1 tsp of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
In a small saucepan, warm the cooked quinoa over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice and fresh herbs, and season with a dash of salt and pepper.
Plate the salmon atop a bed of lemon-herb quinoa and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Serve immediately while hot.
