Pan-Seared Salmon with Garlic Quinoa and Roasted Asparagus
Savor a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet accompanied by fragrant garlic-infused quinoa and crisp roasted asparagus. This dish delivers a heartwarming mix of textures and flavors—from the tender, lightly seasoned salmon to the nutty quinoa and charred asparagus, all gently brightened with a hint of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup roasted Asparagus
1.5 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with half of the olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper, and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa and cook it according to package instructions. In a small pan, sauté minced garlic in a teaspoon of olive oil until fragrant, then stir into the cooked quinoa along with lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is done to your desired level.
Plate the salmon alongside the garlic quinoa and roasted asparagus. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the salmon and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner.
