INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
3/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 Tbsp Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Lemon juice/zest
1 Tbsp Fresh Dill
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the exterior is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil (if desired) and spread on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus for about 8-10 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice and zest, and chopped fresh dill. Stir until well mixed, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
To serve, plate the quinoa mixture as a bed, top with the crispy salmon, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Enjoy warm.
