Seared Salmon with Herb Quinoa and Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon served over fluffy herb-infused quinoa and roasted asparagus, finished with a squeeze of bright lemon and a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the asparagus with half of the olive oil and a pinch of salt, then roast for 12-15 minutes until tender.
While the asparagus roasts, fluff the cooked quinoa in a bowl and stir in the lemon juice and fresh chopped parsley.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the hot skillet skin-side up and sear for 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
In a small dry pan, lightly toast the pine nuts over medium heat for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Serve the seared salmon over the bed of herb quinoa with roasted asparagus on the side and a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts.
