Seared Salmon with Herb Quinoa and Steamed Asparagus
Enjoy a vibrant plate featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet with a subtle crisp on the outside, paired with fluffy herb-infused quinoa and tender steamed asparagus. Enhanced with a burst of fresh lemon and parsley, this meal is not only satisfying to the palate but also aligns wonderfully with your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
5 spears Asparagus
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is just cooked through but still moist.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the quinoa if not already done. Toss the quinoa with chopped parsley and a splash of lemon juice to infuse a fresh herbal flavor.
Steam the asparagus until just tender, approximately 3-5 minutes, and drizzle with a little lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Plate the salmon alongside the herb quinoa and steamed asparagus. Finish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice over the salmon for an added burst of brightness.
