Seared Salmon with Garlic Green Beans and Quinoa
Enjoy a beautifully seared salmon fillet paired with fragrant garlic green beans and fluffy quinoa. This dish combines the rich flavors of perfectly cooked salmon with the crisp, garlicky freshness of green beans and the nutty texture of quinoa for a satisfying, balanced dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Green Beans
2 cloves Garlic
2 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. Cook it according to package instructions, typically simmering for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Toss in the minced garlic (from 2 cloves) and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the green beans to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are tender yet crisp. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plate the cooked quinoa as the base. Top with the seared salmon and arrange the garlic green beans on the side.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner.
