Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Quinoa
Enjoy a vibrant gluten-free dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet complemented by tender steamed asparagus and a savory portion of fluffy quinoa. This dish offers a harmonious blend of flavors while hitting your macronutrient targets.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet,
1/4 cup dry Quinoa,
6 Asparagus spears,
1 tsp Olive Oil,
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. Add the quinoa and water in a small pot (use about 1/2 cup water for 1/4 cup dry quinoa) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
While the quinoa cooks, pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the teaspoon of olive oil. Once heated, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through yet still moist.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus spears in a steamer basket set over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plate the salmon with the quinoa and steamed asparagus. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, gluten-free dinner.
