Seared Salmon with Steamed Broccoli and Garlic Quinoa
Pan-seared salmon served with garlic-infused quinoa and steamed broccoli, finished with a bright squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Broccoli Florets
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package directions, stirring in the minced garlic during the last few minutes of simmering for a fragrant finish.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season lightly with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact, searing for about 4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the salmon is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon finishes, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes until they are vibrant green and tender-crisp.
Plate the garlic quinoa and broccoli alongside the salmon, garnishing with a fresh lemon wedge if desired.
