Seared Salmon with Steamed Broccoli and Quinoa
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with vibrant steamed broccoli and fluffy quinoa. This dish is elegantly simple, combining the rich flavor of salmon with the fresh crunch of broccoli and the nutty taste of quinoa, all lightly enhanced by a hint of olive oil and lemon.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz salmon fillet
1 cup chopped broccoli
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1 teaspoon olive oil
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, steam the chopped broccoli in a steamer or microwave until tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
If the quinoa is not pre-cooked, rinse 1/4 cup of dry quinoa and cook according to package instructions to yield about 1/2 cup cooked quinoa.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed broccoli and quinoa. Garnish with additional lemon wedges if desired.
